In most cases, seniors who suffer from serious injuries are more likely to suffer from life-threatening side effects. The most common are hip fractures. The recovery time can take up to 12 months and may require transitional care. Additionally, there is a high probability of complications that might be fatal. The majority of seniors who suffer from this sort of injury never completely regain their independence.

The good news is that most of these falls are preventable with careful home care. The home is the most prevalent place for slips, trips, and falls, but customers may lower this risk with Visiting Angels' Safe and Steady programs.
