Guidebook Developed by American Senior Services Incorporated (ASSI) Provides Education and Private Label Opportunity For Senior Solution Specialists
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., June 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The good news is that seniors are living longer and plan to do so in the comfort of their own homes. The bad news is that millions of seniors are not taking simple steps to safety-proof their living environment to minimize potential injures. About one third of the senior population over the age of 65 falls each year and the risk of falls increases proportionately with age. At 80 years, over half of seniors fall annually. "As alarming as this stat is, these documented statistics fall short of the actual number since many accidents are unreported family members or caregivers," explained Bobby Gross, CEO of American Senior Services Incorporated (ASSI). According to Learn Not To Fall (http://www.learnnottofall.com), 53% of the older adults who are discharged for fall-related hip fractures will experience another fall with in six months.
