In 2019, for the first time in 5 years, the number of patients over 65 seen in the ER for fall injuries was less than the previous year.
This is the first year the SAFE-D program was in operation.
National statistics say 40% of those who suffer a hip fracture will never live independently again. 25% will die within one year.
Many other seniors will have a less serious fall that frightens them, which can cause a spiraling downturn due to less activity, which then decreases their strength and range of motion, which can in turn lead to another fall.
