Fall Prevention in South Orange from Dedicated In-Home Caregivers
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of four seniors experiences a fall each year. Among those who fall, one out of five sustains a serious injury. Amorycare's Fall Prevention service aims to assist local seniors in South Orange and its surrounding areas by educating them on fall prevention techniques to reduce the risk of injury. Through this service, our in-home caregivers support seniors in maintaining their quality of life and independence.
Falls not only impact seniors physically but also mentally. The fear of falling can lead to social isolation, preventing seniors from engaging with loved ones and participating in important events. This isolation is associated with various physical and cognitive issues, including anxiety, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and heart disease.

Identifying Risk Factors for Falls
