About this service
Every year, one in three older adults will experience a fall.
And the results can be devastating, including broken hips, head injuries and even death. According to Statistics Canada*, falls are the leading cause of injury at home. About 63 percent of falls are by seniors. More than half of the falls occurred while people were simply walking or doing household chores. Peak fall times tend to be between 6 a.m. and noon or in early evening. For many, what started as a typical day may have resulted in severe injuries or a hospitalization. In some cases, a bad fall can dramatically affect lifestyle and significantly alter your wish list plans of where you will be living in your senior years.
Being able to live in your home, as a senior, is high on most of our wish lists. But just because it is your home, and possibly even a place where youve lived for years, doesnt mean you are safe from injury.
