This Episode of The Senior Podcast Show focuses on fall prevention techniques within the home! We will be joined by special guest Bryan Stapp, President of Medical Care Alert.  

The CDC reported that falls among adults 65 and older caused 34,000 deaths in 2019, making it the leading cause of injury death for that group. Over 800,000 patients a year are hospitalized because of a fall injury, most often because of a head injury or hip fracture. Furthermore, the CDC goes on to report that any people who fall, even if they’re not injured, become afraid of falling. This fear may cause a person to cut down on their everyday activities, while less active, they become weaker, and this increases their fall risk. 

In this episode we discuss simple techniques that can prevent falls in a BIG way! Plus, Medical Care Alert shares their FREE guide on Fall Prevention called "50+ Ways to Prevent Falls".
