Falls are a Significant Threat to Seniors

According to Security Safe, about a third of Americans over the age of 65 fall each year. And fall-related injuries account for five times the reason seniors are hospitalized above all other causes, and more than half of those will require assistance from someone to get back up. 

The Centers for Disease Control adds that 20 percent of all falls result in head injuries, hip fractures and broken bones (usually of wrists, arms, or ankles), not to mention that fear of future falls that may lead to limiting one’s everyday activities.
