Physical Effects of Falling

The most common physical injuries sustained by seniors during falls are concussions and bone fractures. Nearly 33% of falls result in serious injuries like these and around 800000 seniors are hospitalized each year for fall-related injuries. For many seniors these injuries are life-changing and necessitate long-term recovery programs. Unfortunately some elders who are injured in falls never regain the ability to live independently and must live in an assisted living facility or senior living home.

Mental and Emotional Effects of Falling

In addition to their physical effects, falls can also cause great psychological and emotional trauma for seniors. After their first fall, many seniors become extremely anxious about falling again. This heightened anxiety can greatly reduce seniors’ overall quality of life. Additionally, this fear can lead to social withdrawal and avoiding important events and activities because of the potential for an accident.

Risk Factors for Falling

While it may sometimes feel like falls happen out of nowhere, they are more predictable than you might think. Many factors play a part in a senior’s fall risk and these factors fall into three distinct categories: medical issues, physical issues, and environmental hazards. Examples of these factors include poor eyesight, weakened muscles, and a lack of railings on a staircase. At Visiting Angels of Chelsea, our team members are well-versed in identifying these risk factors and helping address them.

How Our Caregivers Help Prevent Falls

After making a thorough assessment of your senior loved one’s health and home environment, our in-home senior care specialists will create a plan to help your loved one avoid falls while getting around the house.
