PRESTIGE SENIOR LIVING Offers Resources To Seniors Worried About Falling Many seniors are adopting modern technology to stay in touch with their loved ones - whether it's a computer to send and receive email or a smartphone for FaceTime conversations. It's especially vital to stay connected during the COVID era. But each new device also requires power cords - and those cords could pose a falling hazard to a senior, which could cause a serious injury. Whether it's a physical object in the home or diminished physical capabilities, fall risks for seniors come in many forms, with potentially serious consequences. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 25% of people age 65 and older fall each year, with falling once then doubling your chances of falling again. Furthermore, over 800,000 seniors are hospitalized annually due to injuries sustained in a fall. The statistics surrounding seniors and falling are a big reason Prestige Senior Living has a Free Fall Risk Assessment available at FallRiskAssessment.com. It's available the entire month of April and we invite you to take it for either yourself or a loved one as a guide to helping prevent or reduce falls. Despite the physical and in-home risks seniors have for falling, there are steps you can take to stay safe. It starts with knowing the risk factors for falls and taking a few minutes to fill out the assessment could make all the difference. If it might be time for you or a loved one to consider senior living, Prestige Assisted Living at Green Valley offers our award-winning EXPRESSIONS program for our memory care residents, and our popular CELEBRATIONS program for assisted and independent living residents.
