An Interactive Look Behind the Numbers to Prevent Falls

One of the biggest challenges facing senior housing communities is preventing residents from falling. Unfortunately, most falls remain unwitnessed, so understanding how and why a fall occurred is a challenge.

There is a way to overcome this challenge, though. SafelyYou’s AI-enabled fall detection technology has captured more than 10,000 actual falls events on camera, and it is sharing just a snippet of this invaluable information in the interactive infographic, “Falls Behind the Numbers.” 

Let’s dig into a few of these numbers, which will likely surprise you:

  • Falls have increased by 20% due to COVID-19
  • 17% of falls are “silent” falls where the resident self-recovers alone
  • In 30% of falls, the resident moves after the fall before being found
  • In 23% of falls, the resident intentionally self-lowers without self-recovery

Since most falls in senior housing communities often lead to ER visits and even hospitalization, it’s very important to take a closer look at the contributing factors to falls so you can develop a plan to prevent falls in the future.
