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.
Falls and their related complications are a threat to aging in place and are the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries in adults over the age of 65. Falls are also the number one cause of hospital admissions related to injuries in older adults and reason for higher means of medical related services.
In our first webinar together, Chief Medical Officer of Home Doctor For You, Dr. Silvia Hugec, is joining me, Dr. Dev Brar, CEO and Founder of Source of Life Technologies and Home Care Providers, to discuss the importance of proactive fall prevention for older adults and their caregivers, address certain predictors, and offer tips for providers to further reduce fall risk.
By the end of this webinar, we will help attendees to:
- Understand the health impact of falls and injuries in older adults
- Identify health and environmental factors that can lead to increased risk of falls or injury
- Understand easy to use steps for safer spaces
- Gain insights into proactive options for remote monitoring opportunities
