Why Elderly Fall Prevention Care is Essential
Elderly fall prevention care is one of the most important aspects of keeping seniors safe at home. According to the NHS, falls are the leading cause of hospital admissions among older adults, while the World Health Organization reports that one in three adults over 65 experiences a fall each year. At Ruby247, we believe elderly fall prevention care protects more than health—it safeguards dignity, confidence, and independence.
Why Falls Are So Dangerous
Falls are not minor accidents for seniors—they can have devastating effects. Elderly fall prevention care is critical because falls often lead to:
-
Fractures such as broken hips or wrists.
-
Head injuries, sometimes with long-term consequences.
-
Loss of confidence, reducing mobility and independence.
-
Extended hospital stays, disrupting lives and increasing health risks.
For seniors with conditions like osteoporosis, even a small fall can be life-changing.
