If your elderly loved one suffers from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s Disease, Arthritis or other disease that weakens his ability to walk or maintain balance, he may be at risk for a deadly fall. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), accidental falls are the top cause of death, and in 2013, over 25,000 elderly adults died from fall-related injuries. Traumatic brain injuries, the aftermath of a risky surgery, and pre-existing conditions prior to the fall are all risk factors for seniors. A-1 Home Care in Costa Mesa wants to help you prevent falls in your home or in your elderly loved one’s home, if she or he does not live with you.
How Live-In Care Prevents Falls
Whether your elderly loved one lives alone or with a spouse who is close in age, having a live-in caregiver is a great safety net because you have a professional home helper who’s strong, alert, and experienced around the house. An in-home caregiver from A-1 Home Care in Costa Mesa will reduce the chances of your loved one forgetting medication, overdosing or taking the wrong medicine that might impair her mental state of mind. A certified nurse assistant can walk beside or behind your father as he uses a walker to ensure that he does not fall. If your parent walks fine but suddenly suffers a fall, a live-in caregiver will rush to the rescue, and this kind of aid is especially helpful if your loved one lives alone. All too often, serious injuries could be minimized or prevented if someone was around to call an ambulance right away.
