How Falls Can Impact Aging Adults in Conway, AR, and The Surrounding Areas Without the Help of Senior Caregivers

Visiting Angels of Conway is committed to helping seniors make the most of their golden years in the comfort of their own homes. Seniors are far more likely to experience a severe fall than other adults, and every year, one in three seniors suffers a painful fall. This statistic is because risk factors that lead to falls are more common in seniors.

These risk factors can include:

  • Taking multiple medications
  • Health complications
  • Cognitive disorders
  • Painful or stiff joints
  • Loss of hearing
  • Reduced eyesight
  • Mobility problems
  • Poor coordination
  • Lowered strength

Many seniors take a longer time to recover from injuries caused by falls. Some falls can even be life-altering, and in the worst-case scenario, they can be life-threatening. When seniors fall and fracture their hip, it can take up to 12 months to heal and require transitional care. Countless seniors never fully recover from hip fractures and, as a result, lose their independence.

Luckily, most falls are preventable with the help of professional senior caregivers and fall prevention programs.

How Can Families Prevent Falls for Seniors?

When seniors fall, 75 percent of the time, they happen in the home or nearby. By identifying the risk factors that exist in your loved one’s home, taking precautions to reduce the likelihood of a dangerous fall is essential. Hiring a professional senior caregiver can help reduce fall risk factors in your loved one’s home and ensure their safety as they age in place.
