Elderly senior care is something that has been overlooked or mismanaged for quite some time.
As you grow older, you become prone to a number of risks.
One of the major concerns is elderly slips and falls.
The statistics attached to these accidents are shocking.
According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention: • One in three adults aged 65 or older fall at least once a year.
• Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths in that age group.
• Most elderly non-fatal injuries and injuries requiring treatment at a hospital are inflicted during a fall.
• Over 18 000 elderly adults in the USA died from injuries suffered in a fall in 2007 alone.
• Falls can hamper the elderly from living independently and increase the risk of early death.
• Falling is the most common cause of brain injuries, while most fractures suffered by elderly people are due to falling.
This is no reason to hamper your elderly parents or relatives from living a full, healthy and independent life.
Rushing to find a nursing home is not the only option, as these incidents do occur at institutions for the elderly as well.
The benefit is that help is on hand immediately.
What are your options then? Ensuring that your elderly relatives remain in shape and enjoy regular exercise is extremely important.
A campaign in the UK recently saw elderly people given a Nintendo Wii to enjoy safe and fun form of exercise.
This was just one example of how modern technology can be beneficial.
Home panic button systems, are another way to give you peace of mind.
These systems keep your relatives in close contact with an emergency operator at all hours of the day.
Not only will the operators respond the minute the button is pressed, they are trained to assess the emergency and respond accordingly.
A number of products will also keep track of any concerns you may have, such as falls, and notify you immediately in the event of an emergency.
The advantage of using these systems is that your loved ones can continue living independently in the comfort of their own home, while still leaving you with complete peace of mind.
Elderly senior care is no small matter, so act now to reward your loved ones with a quality way of life, and show them they deserve your affection and respect.
Think of it this way; leading by example and showing your children how to treat the elderly, they will then in turn do the same for you when begin to age gracefully.
