Each year, up to 1/3 of adults over the age of 65 years will experience a fall. Older adults with chronic conditions are at higher risk and it is of importance to know falling is not a normal part of aging.
September is Fall Prevention Awareness Month, and we are here with activities, facts, and much more to help raise awareness around best strategies to mitigate risk. National falls prevention observances are held during this month and revolve around the first day of fall.

How do we know when a person living with dementia cannot be home alone anymore? How do we know when it is time to transition a person living with dementia to a senior living community?
Physical activity is a must when it comes to aging and maintaining independence and health. Just as our population of older adults is increasing, so is the amount of research into the importance of the effects of regular exercise.
Falls are generally preventable. One of the ways families attempt to decrease falls, mitigate fall risk, and increase safety is by moving a loved one into a senior living community, such as Assisted Living.

Has one of these thoughts ever crossed your mind?
Technology is here empowering caregivers and older adults to age more successfully.
Technological advancements have made it viable to monitor patients remotely while at home or in skilled care. And this bodes well as we are seeing a massive shift in the caregiver community.
