KNOWING THE RISKS

Why Fall Detection Matters

Falls are among the leading causes of injury for older adults — and for those living with memory loss, the risks are even greater. Many falls happen when no one is there to help, often leading to unnecessary hospital visits, loss of confidence, and reduced independence. SafelyYou technology and 24/7 support help communities respond faster, reduce injuries, and provide families with peace of mind.

70%

of falls are unwitnessed

95%

of Alzheimer’s-related hospitalizations are caused by falls

26%

of falls occur in the bedroom

19%

of older adults avoid activities due to fear of falling

After my dad passed away, my mom moved into Independence Village and we couldn’t be happier with her experience. From the moment she arrived, the staff has been warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. It’s clear that they go above and beyond to make residents feel comfortable and at home. The food is fantastic, offering a great variety of delicious and nutritious meals. The services available provide her with everything she needs, from housekeeping to medical support, and there are always fun activities happening to keep her engaged and social. It means the world to my family and I to know that mom is not only safe but truly enjoying this new chapter of her life. Every time we visit, we feel welcomed and reassured that she is surrounded by a wonderful community. We are so grateful to the entire team at Avon Lake Independence Village for the care and kindness they show every day! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive and vibrant senior living community.
