What's Your Fall Risk?
Falling is a leading cause of injury-related emergency department visits in Morris and Essex County.
Fall Prevention awareness in New Jersey helps address this public health issue. "Falls can be more dangerous than they might seem. They can cause bruising, hip fractures, and head injuries. These accidents can even be fatal, especially for the elderly, which means seniors deserve extra attention to make sure they don't fall."
Look around your home and places seniors go and consider how those environments might impact them. Check for stairs without handrails, slippery bathtubs, uneven floors, loose rugs, and make changes to those places to provide a safe space for your elderly loved one.
