Mobility assistant service by Advantage Home Care
Mobility concerns can severely restrict seniors’ independence, particularly those with disabilities, making it challenging for them to access necessary items or move around safely. Unfortunately, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this can lead to social isolation and a heightened risk of falls, a significant cause of injury for individuals aged 65 and above.
While some family caregivers modify homes, certain in-home mobility safety features can be complicated, expensive, and time-consuming. For example, stair and toilet lifts can enhance accessibility, but if wheelchair users can’t transfer themselves to the equipment and back, they’ll still require additional assistance. Improper transfers can result in severe injuries for both the senior and the caregiver.

The Importance Of Senior Mobility Aids
Did you know that one in four seniors experience falls each year? That’s a staggering 36 million falls, leading to around 32,000 deaths annually, as reported by the CDC. And here’s another alarming statistic: 20% of these falls result in severe injuries like head injuries or broken bones. For seniors, hip fractures are a significant concern, accounting for over 95% of fractures caused by falls.
These falls can be not only costly but also extremely harmful. Moreover, once seniors have experienced a fall, they become twice as likely to fall again. It’s not just about the injuries themselves, though. Seniors take longer to heal, and if their muscles start wasting away due to immobility, it sets off a vicious cycle that can significantly reduce their agility.
