Elder Care: Check Our Tune-Up Calendar.
Every quarter Home Helpers teams up with Louis and Clark Medical Supply to offer free tune-ups in seniors' mobility equipment. The initiative aims at increasing security and reducing fall risk among seniors in our community.
Given to the high demand, we now offer the service in 11 different localities in North Central CT and Western Massachusetts. The Tune-ups now occur in East Longmeadow MA, Enfield CT, Wilbraham MA, Somers CT, Vernon CT, Rockville CT, Agawam MA, Suffield CT, and Springfield MA throughout the month, starting tomorrow.
Fall prevention
According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), falls are the leading cause of injury and death in older Americans. One out of five falls causes a serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury. Over 800 thousand people end up in a hospital every year, because of an injury caused by a fall. Of these, at least 300 thousand are older people who suffer a hip fracture. Hip fractures are extremely dangerous for seniors. Around 50% of those 85 years or older do not recover from a hip fracture.
