Unfortunately, once adults have fallen, they often fear falling again. This begins a downward spiral since the fear of falling yields less activity. Next, as people become idle, they become weaker, increasing the odds of another fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), falling is commonplace in seniors. Injuries will make it hard to get around, perform everyday activities, or live independently. Annually, millions of aging adults have to get emergency care for injuries after a fall. The medical costs for seniors continue to climb while the number of elderly persons in our population grows.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #2b285f;text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Facts about Senior Falls:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Falls many times lead to broken bones of the wrist, arm, ankle or hips<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Head injuries may worsen from common medications, like blood thinners.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Injuries from falling require longer hospital stays than other medical admissions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">One out of 10 adults over 85 years of age will end up fracturing a hip from a fall.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Risk factors in the home environment can be reduced.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Reduce the Risk of Falling and Provide Solutions<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">What is the solution for our aging loved ones? Help reduce risk factors that lead to falls. Falls can happen because of lower body weakness, vision or eyeglass problems, poorly fitting shoes, Vitamin D deficiency, sedatives or other medications that affect balance. Other risk factors are household clutter, items left on the floor or steps, and animals, their feeding dishes, or toys. The more risk factors there are, the higher the chance of a fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">In-home caregivers can greatly help aging adults by reducing the number of risk factors in a home environment. Caregivers trained at Comfort Keepers\u00ae are qualified to assess your loved one\u2019s environment and make suggestions that reduce the likelihood of a fall. We can offer safety recommendations, such as discarding throw rugs, repairing uneven flooring, and using better lighting. If an adult has already incurred an injury, a caregiver can aid in their recovery. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Best Senior Home Care Provider in Victoria, BC, is Comfort Keepers\u00ae<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Firstly, if you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones, we can help with 24-hour care.
