Have you or a loved one slipped or fallen recently?
You are not alone, one in four older adults (65+) fall each year and as we get older we are more likely to fall. In 2016, over 20,000 older adults were treated and discharged from the Emergency Department and an additional 7,000 were admitted for inpatient care in San Diego alone.
So, why are older adults more likely to fall?
There are many different risk factors and most of these become more common.
Risk factors include:
Environmental hazards
Balance and mobility problems
Medical conditions and medications
Poor Vision
Real Stories, Real Impact.
