Why Fall Prevention Matters for Older Adults

According to the CDC, falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among adults aged 65 and older. Several risk factors—such as chronic health conditions, medication side effects, muscle weakness, and unsafe home layouts—can impair balance and coordination and make falling more likely.

These statistics highlight the importance of proactive, preventive care:

• 1 in 4 seniors falls each year
• 3 out of 4 older adults who fall will experience another fall within 6 months
• Fall-related deaths spike after age 70, with noticeable increases starting around age 63

Our In-Home Fall Prevention Services in Cumming, GA Include:

• Transfer and Mobility Assistance
  Safe support getting in/out of chairs, beds, and bathrooms
• Environmental Hazard Removal
  Clearing clutter, securing rugs, improving lighting, and organizing pathways
• Daily Routine Monitoring
  Supervised movement during high-risk activities like bathing and toileting

Common Causes of Falls in Seniors

Falls don’t happen for one reason—they’re often the result of several combined risks, including:

• Muscle weakness or balance issues
• Chronic conditions (e.g., arthritis, Parkinson’s, diabetes)
• Vision or hearing loss
• Medication side effects
• Unsafe home environments
• Cognitive decline such as Alzheimer’s or dementia

Third: Think about home care, especially if you have fallen before and have trouble getting out of bed or up from a chair. You may want to consider an in-home caregiver to help with transfers, climbing and walking (the cost of a caregiver is typically 1/3 the cost of a nursing home.) Or you may want to talk with a Physical Therapist about starting a strengthening program and home safety screen. All of Assisting Hands’ home aides are specially trained in fall prevention through the Fall Prevention Centers of America.

Illnesses, medications and environmental factors can all affect strength and balance contributing to a fall. The best predictor of a future fall is a history of falls. Talk with your doctor, begin exercising with professional guidance and consider hiring a caregiver from Assisting Hands to help with risky tasks.
