Fall Risk Prevention for Birmingham Seniors  

How much do you know about preventing senior falls, either for yourself or an elderly loved one?

Taking care of our beloved seniors involves ensuring their safety, especially when it comes to preventing falls. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) highlights that falls are a major cause of injury among Americans aged 65 and older. These falls not only impact physical health but can also significantly affect seniors’ overall quality of life. In Alabama, stringent policies mandate 24/7 care for individuals at risk of falling in independent and assisted living facilities, underscoring the seriousness of this concern.
