Why should caregivers be concerned about slip and fall prevention? Aside from helping to prevent our loved ones from getting injured, the statistics around slip and fall accidents are significant and growing each year. With Canada’s aging population, that number will surely grow.
Sam from Elizz sat down with Tracy from Philips Lifeline to talk about the impacts that slip and fall accidents have on the people we care for (particularly seniors), caregivers, and our health care system.
Tracy shares tips and information that caregivers can use to help their aging parents prevent falls in and around their home, and advocates for more education around falls prevention to ensure that seniors remain healthy and independent for as long as possible.
