Preventing Falls with A Matter of Balance
Introduction
Welcome to Devoted Heart Adult Family Home, a leading provider of health and geriatric care services. We prioritize the safety and well-being of our residents, which is why we offer a comprehensive program called A Matter of Balance to prevent falls among seniors.
The Importance of Fall Prevention
Falls are a major health concern, especially for older adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), falls are the leading cause of injury and death among seniors. They can result in various injuries, fractures, and a decrease in the overall quality of life.
