Slip-and-fall injury rates create serious in-home care concerns in Brookfield, WI<\/p>\n

Wisconsin has one of the nation\u2019s highest rates of deadly falls among older adults, and it\u2019s still on the rise, according to a 2021 report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.<\/p>\n

In fact, between 2016 and 2019, fatal falls for people aged 65 and older in Wisconsin increased over 19.1%, more than double the national rate of 7.6% reported over the same period (Magee, 2021).<\/p>\n

But even when they aren\u2019t fatal, falls take a serious toll, compounding senior mobility issues, burdening family care networks with new responsibilities (e.g. physical therapy, fall-proofing the home, transitional care, etc), and costing a fortune in hospital bills. In fact, in 2017 alone, falls cost Wisconsin taxpayers over $1-billion.<\/p>\n

Understandably, these data raise serious in-home care concerns. Fortunately, 100% of fatal falls are preventable, and our in-home care services are one of the most powerful interventions available.<\/p>\n

But while you\u2019re probably already aware of the ways our in-home care teams prevent falls for seniors under our care\u2014many of which you can find listed in Wisconsin\u2019s Fall Prevention Action Plan<\/a>\u2014you may not be so familiar with the different technologies and protocols we use to improve fall prevention between care visits. <\/em><\/p>\n
