Show Notes
Every 20 minutes a senior adult dies as a result of declining health triggered from a fall. Fall prevention is critical for seniors, especially if they are living alone. Careage's Gidgette Chesley discusses how, at Patriot's Landing, seniors have an active calendar, helping those even with mobility issues. A resident who experiences a fall is taken care of first, but then they investigate the cause, whether it's a throw rug or a rug/carpet transition.
