Every 5 hours in Hawaii, an older adult has a fall injury so severe they must be treated at a hospital. Recent reports show Hawaii seniors are visiting hospital emergency rooms on a rate of every hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Many never go home or regain full independence. The GOOD NEWS is that falls and fall-related injuries are preventable.

Eileen Phillips, our Director of Nursing at Attention Plus Care, will discuss Fall Prevention and how we can be aware of our balance, vision, and what we can do at home to make our environment safe.
