Why Falls Are a Bigger Threat Than You Think
Most people don’t realize just how dangerous falls can be for seniors. They are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among adults aged 65 and older. According to the CDC, one in four seniors falls each year, and 20% of these falls result in serious injuries like hip fractures or traumatic brain injuries.
The Hidden Dangers of Falls
Delayed Medical Assistance:
Many seniors live alone or fall when no one is nearby to help, leading to prolonged time on the ground, which can cause dehydration, hypothermia, or worse.
Fear of Falling Again:
After experiencing a fall, many seniors develop a fear of walking, leading to reduced mobility and loss of independence.
Long-Term Health Complications:
Falls can result in
, permanent disability, or even early death if not addressed quickly.
Traditional solutions—like landline-based emergency buttons or manual alert systems—require the person to press a button, which is impossible if they are unconscious or in shock. MedAlertCare.com’s fall detection watch solves this problem with automatic emergency alerts, ensuring seniors always get help, even when they can’t ask for it.
