June 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Falling is a real threat to your ability to live on your own. Falling is a serious health risk among senior adults. Each year, about one out of three over 65 years of age experience a fall.

Do you know that 90% of the people who get help within one hour will continue to live independently, but after 12 hours without any aid, only 10% of the people can continue to live at home.

Not only are falls expensive to treat, but the pain and injury they cause can have negative effects on a person's quality of life and drastically reduce a senior adult's independence.
