Aging in Place
For many older adults, spending the rest of our life at home is what we want—with all the familiarity, comforts, memories and routines. But living alone is not ideal for many reasons. From accidents to loneliness, the risks to our physical and mental well-being are well-documented.
DID YOU KNOW?
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injury in older adults.
3 Million Emergency Room visits
1 Million Hospitalizations
The CDC currently reports that more than 1 in 4 Americans age 65+ falls each year—over 14 million people. About 37% of people who fall report an injury requiring medical treatment or restricting activity for at least a day.
What is more sobering are the survival statistics after a fall. A staggering 33% of seniors who fell and required trauma care died within one year. 24% of those who survived to leave the hospital died within a year.
Falls put a strain on you, your family and your caregivers. And with the availability of caregivers shrinking rapidly, this quickly balloons into a major problem. There is an enormous physical, emotional and financial toll that caregiving takes. Millennials and Gen X are sandwiched between their children, grandchildren and their parents. The choices are agonizing. The burden builds until the caregiver's health begins to fade.
