Falls are the second leading cause of accidental death. The older adult population accounts for 75% of falls that result in accidental death. One-third of the older adults who experience a fall that results in a hip fracture will 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 billions every year! Even if the fall does not result in hospitalization, fear of falling becomes a major factor in how seniors live their daily lives. Fear of falling often 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.

I have been working for Senior Homecare by Angels since the beginning of 2011. During this time they have been providing in home care for my grandmother. They are an incredible group of people that have made my grandmothers' quality of life significantly better. They are a kind, compassionate group of professionals that provide top quality care. In the case of my grandmother, having the 24 hour live in care ensures she gets the support she needs to stay at her home while preserving her quality of life. The team provides supervision but also companionship. They are great at communicating and quick to help if a health or other related issue arises. The care provided by the Senior Homecare team gives me peace of mind that my grandmother is in good hands. They are a fantastic organization.
