Falls are the #1 reason for admission to Emergency Rooms for people over 65.
Falls are the leading cause of home injury and death among older adults, accounting for 53% of all home injury deaths for adults between the ages of 65 and 74. Thirty-five percent of people over 65 suffer a fall each year. There is also a strong relationship between the time it takes for help to arrive and the severity of injuries ... the longer someone lies on the floor after an injury the worse that injury becomes.
There are many factors that increase the chance of falling. One, of course, is age. However, many medications cause dizziness, fatigue, and/or imbalance that multiply the risk. Certain chronic conditions and illnesses also increase the chance of falls - and then there are environmental factors.
Thanks to innovations in technology and new approaches to care, more and more seniors are able to live safely and more independently in their own homes.
Pressing the standard pendant sends a signal to the base station. The monitoring center, on receiving a call from the base unit, brings up all the client’s information and responder preferences, including hospital, ambulance, fire and local police services.
Two-way voice is accomplished directly through the mobile pendant; or through the base station when the client is in proximity. All for just a little over $1.00 per day.
