CASTATROPHIC CARE PROGRAMS

Many of the clients we serve have special needs. Some of them require continuous and round-the-clock care especially when they've had a major injury potentially changing their quality of life.

FALL PREVENTION

Falls are the second leading cause of accidental death in the United States. Seventy-five percent of these falls occur in the older adult population. One third of the older adults who fall, sustain a hip fracture and are hospitalized, die within a year. Falls not only affect the quality of life of the individual but also influence the caregiver and family. Health care costs for falls and rehabilitation average 70 billion dollars a year!

Even if the fall does not result in hospitalization, fear of falling becomes a major factor. Fear leads to inactivity and loss of confidence. This, in turn produces a cycle of fear, loss of self-confidence, and inactivity, thereby decreasing the quality of life and increasing the risk of falls.

Some health care individuals state that only one-third of the community-dwelling older adults fall each year, which is a relatively small number. Therefore they question the expenditure of the dollars for fall prevention. However, the argument can be countered by the fact that fall prevention programs may preserve and possibly improve the quality of life for even one individual. Second, we do not know the long-term health care benefits and reduction in costs for the general population. Some studies are beginning to demonstrate a cost-savings; that is, if the older adults are provided with a series of educational programs and environmental modifications, then the health care costs are reduced. Our knowledge as health care professionals may be able to reduce falls through volunteer efforts. The improving of one person's quality of life and possibly decreasing fall-risk factors is worth the time. The following information is by no means either a comprehensive or a "sure-fire" plan to prevent falls, but it is one possible method to help increase awareness regarding falls and fall prevention.

Let our team of trained professionals assist you (your loved one) with obtaining the following GOALS:

• To assist individuals in the community with information on fall prevention.
• To develop skills in fall prevention
• To increase fall prevention awareness in older adults.
• To help increase stability in daily routines in the home
