Your Place @ Home - Research & Facts

Experts believe that minor home modifications, along with strength and balance exercises,
can dramatically improve mobility and reduce the incidence of falls. Installation of safety
features in your home, in conjunction with a focus on health maintenance and fall
prevention, can be the solution for an independent functional lifestyle.

In the upcoming years, there will be increasing numbers of baby boomers that will be
entering retirement age.

Each year, approximately 7,000 adults, age 65 and older, die as a result of home falls.

Falls precipitate a cascade of catastrophes that can be prevented. Falls are the most
preventable cause of needing to move into a nursing home and can lead to problems
walking, keeping your balance and performing your activities of daily living, such as
bathing and dressing.

Falls and fall injuries are more common than strokes, and can be just as serious in their
consequences

Being able to function and remain independent in one's own home as long as one desires
are important components of successful aging.

There are basic physiologic changes of aging, for example, decreased mobility and
strength, along with diminished coordination and slower reaction times, that puts older
adults at risk for falls.

Older adults that remain in their home, continue to participate in their community life, and
maintain autonomy, describe a more successful aging process and life satisfaction.

Participation in areas such as recreation and social activities within their community, older
adults have shown improved physical well-being, lower rates of depression and pain, and
have a more positive sense of self.
