Did you know: Alcohol use can be attributed to more than 60% of senior falls?
Fall prevention is critical to preserving the quality of life. Statistics suggest one in four will have a fall this year. Falls can lead one to not be able to return home, not to mention broken bones, brain injuries and even death. This is a topic we need to get comfortable talking about.
According to the NIH poll, one in four seniors admitted to drinking heavily in the last 30 days, and one in 10 admitted to binge drinking. We’re not talking about college kids here…
We need to be checking in with our seniors. There is a better way. There’s help available from the community-at-large and the faith community. Not addressing these issues with alcohol could put your health at risk, but also your estate. You don’t want your estate exposed to a wrongful death lawsuit from drunk driving. Listen along in Episode 21.
