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

Our dad has been in the memory care unit at IV for nearly a year. The staff is incredible! You are greeted with a friendly face as soon as you enter the door. The caregivers know each resident by name and can tell you about who they are. The activities coordinators create opportunities for residents in a variety of activities that incorporate movement, music and art. The nursing staff is top notch and will take the time to talk about your loved one's care. The dietary department provides a menu of foods that changes regularly. Making the decision to put a loved one in a facility can be very heartbreaking, but the staff at IV has brought peace of mind to our family.

We were so very worried about giving my grandma the care she needed, and we were so blessed to find such a wonderful place with such great people. Grandma stays so busy, and loves all the new friends she has met. The apartment is perfect size for her, and the housekeeping and maintenance staff are so wonderful. We are always greeted by staff, and the dining experience is absolutely incredible. The administrator has been an absolute angle to our family. Thank you for all you do.

I’ve had a really positive experience with Independence Village and would absolutely recommend it to others. The level of care here truly stands out — the staff is not only professional and attentive, but also genuinely kind and compassionate. You can tell they take the time to get to know the residents and treat them with respect and dignity.The activities program is another huge highlight. There is always something going on, and the variety is impressive. From social gatherings to games and special events, they do a great job keeping residents engaged and giving them things to look forward to. It really adds to the overall sense of community.They’re also currently in the middle of a major interior renovation, and it’s looking beautiful. The updates are modern and bright, and it’s clear a lot of thought has gone into making the space feel comfortable and welcoming.Overall, it’s a warm, well-run community with excellent care, great energy, and a space that’s only getting better. Definitely worth considering if you’re looking for a place where your loved one will be well cared for and happy.
