September is Fall Prevention Month in Erie!
Going Mobile – How to Improve A Senior’s Mobility and Reduce Falls
Improving Erie senior’s mobility is not only about safety — it’s also about dignity and independence and reducing falls. Several factors affect mobility such as antipsychotic drug use, restraint use, incontinence, poor nutrition and fear of falling. Each of these obstacles can be overcome.
Falls among the Erie seniors are one of the main reasons people over 65 go to the hospital. Besides the pain and loss of life, the economic cost in the United States is in the tens of billions of dollars annually from falls that are in most cases preventable. BrightStar Care of Erie helps to reduce the falls in the elderly with our RN led care and assessments.
