For seniors, falls in and around the home have serious consequences. Did you realize that...
- Falls are one of the most serious health risks among seniors over the age of 65, affecting more people than stroke and heart attacks combined.
- Falls are the leading cause of death due to injury in those people 65 and over.
- 95% of hip fractures are caused by falls. 40% of those hospitalized for hip fracture do not return to independent living and 20% will die within a year.
- More than half (55%) of all falls by seniors take place in the home. An additional 23% occur outside but near the house. Lifeline can intervene in close to 80% of all falls.
- Most falls go unreported, but it is expected that 35-40% of people over the age of 65 fall each year.
- Those who fall are 2-3 times more likely to fall again.
- Many chronic medical conditions place millions more seniors at risk. Cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, diminished hearing and eyesight, and Parkinsons all leave seniors vulnerable to helplessness at home.
There is some positive news…
- Some falls are preventable. Falls caused by environmental factors (like fall hazards in the home) and from side-affects of medication can be foreseen and avoided.
- Preventing falls and the resulting injuries can promote independence, by reducing or delaying the need to move out of the home.
- Getting help quickly after a fall reduces risk of hospitalization by 26% and death by over 80%
LifeGuard Monitoring can help you and your loved ones feel protected in the event of an emergency. Contact Us today to find out how!
As people get older, they face a greater risk of stroke, and are more prone to developing chronic diseases like arthritis, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Seniors don't see or hear as well as they used to, and it can be harder for them to move around the house with the same confidence as they did before.
Each of these conditions, accompanied by anxieties about falling or being incapacitated, can lead to less physical activity and a decline in their ability to live on their own.

"I have never felt safer than I do with my Lifeguard system! I can set reminders to take my medications, it senses when there's a fire, and if I fall and can't get to the phone it automatically calls someone to help. I've tried other services but none of them gave me so much for such a low price. Thanks for making me feel safe in my own home, Lifeguard!"
