PREVENTING FALLS WITH HOME MODIFICATIONS
A MetLife and National Alliance of Caregiving report states that NEARLY 50% OF ALL ACCIDENTS AND FALLS IN THE HOME CAN BE PREVENTED WITH MODIFICATIONS!
Creating a safe environment NOW and for the FUTURE as you go through your daily activities is a critical element in assessing an age-in-place home plan and strategy. Our professional experience and CAPS (certified aging-in-place specialist) training has made us aware of one simple truth:
IF YOU CAN PREVENT FALLS -- YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONE HAVE A MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF REMAINING IN YOUR HOME.
A MetLife and the National Alliance of Caregiving research survey has discovered that: “Falls are the leading cause of injury-related visits to the emergency room in the U.S. and is the primary cause of accidental deaths in people over age 65." Their research states: "one-third to one-half of all accidents and falls in the home can be prevented with home modification and maintenance.”
NEARLY HALF OF ALL PEOPLE THAT SUFFER A HIP FRACTURE CAN NO LONGER LIVE INDEPEDENTLY AND 25% WILL DIE WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF THE INJURY."
What's the solution? The article suggests some key areas to make your home safe and more comfortable: “Home modification may be as simple as installing grab bars in a shower or as complex as building ramps, widening doorways, and installing security systems."
At Comfort Living, we focus on accessibility, maneuverability, and safety to ensure that you can move around and feel safe from falls and injuries throughout your maturing years.
