Imagine waking up to the news that Dad fell and could not reach his phoneโ€ฆ or finding your Mother got disoriented on a walk and was unable to find her way home! Sadly, these nightmares happen all too often.

Did you know that around age 65, new health and safety risks appear and existing risks increase significantly, year on year?โ€‹ And for Seniors, simple accidents can dramatically change our life in moments!

For example forgetting to take daily medications. It doesn't sound like much of a worry, but for Seniors this can be dangerous. It can cause dizziness, feeling sleepy, becoming confused, getting a burn, scald, or cut in the kitchen and risking a fall.

Seniors can also expect new medical events to pop up without warning. Such as weakness in our legs, becoming a bit wobbly, vertigo, diabetic, high blood pressure, panic attacks, becoming stressed, heart palpitations, atrial fibrillation, and some potentially life-threatening moments.

โ€‹โ€‹The most common and perhaps the simplest accident for seniors is falling. It likely starts with a small trip or slip in the kitchen, bathroom or on the stairs. A fall can be traumatic in itself! But it can also result in not being able to get up due to weakness, torn muscles, pain, being traumatised or broken bones! โ€‹Hopefully, someone else is right there to assist and quickly call emergency services.

#1 cause of accidental senior death. Worldwide!

#1 cause of nonfatal injuries. Worldwide!

Annually, around 1 million USA seniors have serious injuries from falls.

600,000 seniors are unlikely to regain full mobility.

Every 11 seconds in the USA, a senior is rushed to the ER after a fall.

Quotes
“"A neighbour who suffered from Parkinson's, had a fall in her bathroom. In the middle of Winter she lay naked on the bathroom floor after a shower, for 2 days, until I heard her faint cry and called emergency services. Unfortunately her family had to relocate her to an aged care home as what mobility she had, was now gone."โ€‹The next neighbour was "pre senior" with health issues and was on medication. Unfortunately during the evening she had a fall and fell down a flight of stairs. Sadly she had limited contact with people and was found 4 days later.โ€‹My parents both have iphones, an ipad, mum has a smart watch which tracks her health and specifically her diabetes and also all blue toothed to mums hearing aids and the car gps and voice activated phone calls and texts. Mum also regularly has video calls with all the family (Dad is just happy sitting in his chair with his ipad) but he also has the house synched to google home who he likes commanding, to turn the lights and tv on/off or play his favourite music." As a "nearly senior" but also fiercely independent and not wanting to ask for help for fear of being embarrassed by simple things younger people make take for granted. I have struggled with reading my texts / seeing my phone call numbers on my iPhone without glasses. I learnt from this video that such things existed as changing the text size on my iPhone, setting a louder ring tone and also found that I have a torch and a magnifying glass."”

“"My Dadโ€™s girlfriend (80+) just had a fall on the weekend and didnโ€™t tell her family. She had to have surgery on her hand yesterday as it was badly broken. I think her children/grandchildren would benefit from your book/video.โ€‹My Dad has fallen so many times and cut himself and so on โ€“ he is more stubborn and is very independent. My brother had to force him to stay with me during Tropical Cyclone Alfred โ€“ he had two bad cuts at the time. But if he falls and doesnโ€™t have his mobile phone with him, Iโ€™m not sure what would happen to him. I think Dad should read your book.โ€‹"”
