The challenges of falling as a Senior

Physical injuries can harm mental wellness. It is common for people who have sustained injuries to become hyper-aware of their surroundings and, therefore, scared to go out and socialize from fear of sustaining another injury. When a person isolates themselves, it can result in loneliness, depression, and anxiety. Therefore, it is essential to immediately address any falling issues that a person might have to help ensure that their mental wellness is good.

There are many causes of falls. Some factors are physical condition, medical issues, and the environment that surrounds them. Being dehydrated puts a person at a much greater risk of falling. Arthritis and poor eyesight are also common contributing factors.

ACCORDING TO THE CDC (CDC uses data and research to help prevent falls and save lives)

The one-on-one care at Visiting Angels includes in-home care and education to seniors and their family members. We will walk you through how to secure your living space so that it is safe to be navigated. We will also educate you on the common causes and effects of falling. By doing this, we hope to minimize the possibility that a senior will fall.
