Preventing Falls For The Elderly At Home
Many elderly people fall at home when moving too quickly from sitting to standing and vice versa.
A fall can be so frightening to some elderly people that they may avoid most activities out of fear of falling. This does not sound reasonable to us.
According to CDC, falls in elderly folks over 65 years old are the No. 1 cause of injuries that can be fatal, such as hip fractures, cuts, head and brain traumatic injuries.
