Less than half may tell their doctor. Those who have fallen once often become fearful of falling again. This causes a downward spiral as the fear of falling induces less activity. When a person becomes less active, he or she can become weaker, thus increasing the odds of another fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Common are Senior Falls?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a> (CDC), falling is a common problem for the elderly, and their injuries can make it hard to get around, do everyday activities, or live independently. Millions of older persons receive care in emergency rooms for injuries after a fall each year. Medical costs of seniors continue to skyrocket as the population gets older.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #2b285f;text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Facts About the Risk of Seniors Falling:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Falls often lead to broken bones of the wrist, arm, ankle or hips<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Certain medications, like blood thinners, can worsen head injuries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Injuries from falling manifest longer hospital stays than other medical admissions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">One out of 10 adults aged 85+ will fracture a hip in a fall.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Risk factors for falling can be reduced.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">The best answer is to reduce the risk factors that lead to falls. Falls often happen because of lower body weakness, vision problems, ill-fitting shoes, Vitamin D deficiency, medicines like sedatives or other medications that affect balance, household clutter, items left on steps, and pets or their feeding dishes or toys. The more risk factors at home, the higher the chance of taking a fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Can In-Home Care Help Reduce the Risk of Seniors Falling?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Caregivers can help older adults stay safer by reducing the number of risk factors in the home environment. Comfort Keepers\u00ae caregivers can evaluate your loved one\u2019s home environment and make recommendations to lessen the likelihood of a fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Tips for Caregivers to Reduce the Risk of Seniors Falling:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">#1. Eliminate throw rugs<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">#2. Repair flooring<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">#3. Use better lighting. <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">If an adult has suffered an injury, a professional caregiver can aid in recovery. Caregivers can help someone recover and improve the odds of independent living again.
