Fall Risk Prevention for Tuscaloosa Seniors
How much do you know about preventing senior falls, whether for yourself or an elderly loved one?
Ensuring the safety of our beloved seniors is a vital part of caregiving, particularly when it comes to fall prevention. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), falls are a leading cause of injury among Americans aged 65 and older. Beyond physical injuries, falls can deeply affect seniors’ quality of life and independence. In Alabama, strict policies mandate 24/7 care for individuals at risk of falling in independent and assisted living facilities, highlighting the gravity of this issue.
