Protect Your Parents: How Medical Alerts Can Prevent Serious Falls
The Growing Risk of Falls for Seniors
Falls are a leading cause of injury and death among older adults in the U.S. A recent CDC report shows that death rates from falls have risen dramatically over the past 20 years. Seniors aged 75 and older are especially at risk. In 2023, more than 41,000 retirement-age Americans died from falls. Over half of these were age 85 and older.
Families worried about their parents’ safety need practical solutions. EMC Security provides medical alerts to seniors throughout Georgia and South Carolina. These devices give families peace of mind and ensure help is always within reach.
Why Seniors Are at Risk of Falls
Several factors increase fall risk for older adults:
- Changes in vision or hearing
- Medications that cause dizziness or light-headedness
- Reduced mobility, balance issues, or frailty
Falls can lead to serious injuries, including broken bones or head trauma. These injuries may trigger other health complications. Rapid assistance after a fall is critical, and medical alerts provide exactly that.
How Medical Alerts Protect Seniors
A medical alert device allows seniors to call for help immediately after a fall or medical emergency. This is possible even if they cannot reach a phone. Quick response can prevent minor injuries from becoming life-threatening. It also provides reassurance for families.
