Prevent Elderly falls
  • Falls are a leading cause of injury and death
    among the elderly, and prevention is critical to
    maintaining their independence and quality of
    life.
  • Falls can result in physical injuries such as
    fractures, bruises, and head trauma, which can
    lead to long-term disabilities and reduced
    mobility.
  • Falls can also cause emotional distress, anxiety,
    and depression, which can lead to a decline in
    mental health and cognitive function.
  • Preventing falls can reduce healthcare costs
    associated with hospitalizations, emergency room
    visits, and ongoing medical treatment.

Importance of Prevention of Elderly Falls
  • Elderly people who have fallen are more likely to
    fall again, which can lead to a cycle of repeated
    injuries.
  • Preventing falls can improve the elderly's
    quality of life, reduce social isolation, and
    increase their confidence and independence.
  • Education and awareness campaigns on fall
    prevention can empower the elderly to take
    preventative measures and seek help when needed.
  • Healthcare professionals play a critical role in
    preventing falls by conducting risk assessments,
    reviewing medication use, and providing education
    on home safety.
