El Dorado County

  In 2018 there were 807 seniors treated at Marshall Hospital ER for fall related trauma from a Ground Level Fall (GLF), which was half of all the trauma patients seen by the ER that year. This is up from 569 patients the previous year.

National statistics say:

40% of those who suffer a hip fracture will never live independently again.

25% of them 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.
