Food for Thought - How to Prevent and Manage Factors that Contribute to Falls
Fall Prevention Awareness Week is September 23 through the 29th this year. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall; every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. Did you know that the most serious fall injury is a broken hip? Such an injury can pose serious life changing effects; altering one’s lifestyle and even lead to a total loss of independence.
We invite you to join us as learn about the risks of falls and how to prevent them, so you can create awareness and educate others.
