According to the AARP, 90% of seniors want to “age in place”, but 85% have done nothing to prepare for it!
1 in 3 of these will take a fall this year, or more than half of those over 80. Age Safe America says, “A fall changes everything!”
A fall is THE leading cause of injury death for those over 65.
Of those who fracture their hip, almost 60% are dead within a year (due to complications).
4x more 65 year olds die of falls in the U.S. than in auto accidents!
40% of nursing home admissions are the result of a fall. Half of these do NOT regain their independence and must enter a retirement community prematurely.
Fire safety is a huge issue. Seniors are 2.5x more likely to die in a home fire (with cooking related being the #1 cause) and more than 4x the general population if over 80!
Seniors are the most likely to be scammed. The FBI reported U.S. elder fraud of $1.7 billion in 2021, which doubled to $3.4 billion in 2023.
