For example, when I was a child, they were always telling me to be careful. I often heard \u201cdon\u2019t climb that tree too high or you will fall\u201d or \u201cstop jumping on the bed before you fall\u201d. They were worried that I would hurt myself and break a bone.<\/p>\n<p>I am sure that most of us remember similar conversations growing up. Now that I am older, I find myself having those same conversations, only this time it\u2019s me worried about my parents\u2019 safety. I finally understand what I put them through, but I have the same loving concern for their safety that they had for me.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest concern for most older adults is staying independent and living at home as long as possible. The biggest threat to that independence is a simple slip and fall. Here are some sobering facts:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"primary-list\">\n<li>Falls are the #1 cause of injury-related deaths for those 65 and older.<\/li>\n<li>Every 11 seconds an older adult is in an emergency room being treated for a fall.<\/li>\n<li>For those over 65, the odds of falling are one-in-three.<\/li>\n<li>Of those that are injured from a fall in a home, only 28% returned to their home after hospitalization; half require ongoing care in a skilled nursing facility.<\/li>\n<li>Over 2.8 million people are treated for calls and over 800,000 are hospitalized for fall-related injuries each year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>However, there is good news!<\/strong><br \/>\nThere is something you can do to help prevent your loved ones from falling. Research has shown that there are four main areas to address when preventing falls. Those are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>vision screening;<\/li>\n<li>home safety assessments and modifications;<\/li>\n<li>medication reviews and modifications; and<\/li>\n<li>services to improve physical mobility, agility, and balance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Focusing on one of these areas however, is not enough. A combination of all four of the areas is the best approach.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that these services are typically offered by different providers and they are fragmented. The question then becomes: Is there one place where I can go to get all the resources, answers, and help with the coordination of all of these services?<\/p>\n<p>The answer is YES!\u00a0Talem Home Care &#8211; Milwaukee is a FREE referral service for those who need access to fall prevention services.
