Every 16 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall.
-
Do you live with the fear of how a fall would impact your life? Will you be injured…or something worse? Will you be able to afford the medical costs? Will you have to stop doing what you love with the people you love? Will you lose your independence?
-
Have you or a loved one already fallen? Do you live with the fear of it happening again? Has the fall changed how you live?
- Do you feel discouraged or even angry about the changes that have happened in your body with age? Not seeing quite as well? Not hearing quite as well? Not feeling as steady? Not feeling as safe?
Bad balance and falls are not inevitable as you age. You should be able to live without falls, serious injuries from falls, or living in fear of how a fall will change, or even end, your life.
