Looking for effective and in-home senior care in Des Plaines, IL? Here’s what to look for in a caregiver.
According to the Texas A&M University Health Center, every six seconds a senior is admitted to an emergency room somewhere in the country. Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries for people aged 65 or older.
Although many seniors prefer to live independently, they are involved in more than 2.3 million accidents in their homes each year. Approximately, 7,000 adults 65 and older die in such accidents annually. “Falls are the number one safety risk for older adults,” says Director of Operations Mary O’Connor at the Senior Helpers Oak Brook Office. “Nearly one third of the senior population falls each year with 70 percent of falls occurring at home. It is extremely important to keep the interior and exterior of your home safe.”
