The average cost is $50,000 per surgery. The worst news, 30% of patients die from "successful" surgeries, and50% never walk again. This means only 20% of our moms and dads who fall will live a good quality of life after they fall.
We must, to quote Molly Hatchet, BEAT THE ODDS of our parents falling. Good News: 90% of falls occur in/around house, where we control all factors causing those falls. This means we can eliminate 85% of causes for 85% of falls!
IF we take simple proactive steps, now...
