News: Case Management Information FALLS: A PREVENTABLE HEALTH PROBLEM Reprinted by permission GWAAR Legal Services Unintentional falls are a significant public health problem. Falls cause a substantial number of emergency department visits, inpatient hospitalizations, nursing home admissions, and deaths. As individuals get older, physical changes and health conditions and sometimes the medications used to treat those conditions make falls more likely. A large majority of fall-related deaths (87%) and inpatient hospitalizations (70%) involve people age 65 or older. Yet, falling is not a normal part of aging; seniors and their loved ones can prevent falls. Frequency of Falls ✁ About one-third of the population over the age of 65 experiences a fall each year, and the risk of falls increases proportionately with age. After age 80, over one-half of seniors fall annually. ✁ Every 11 seconds, an emergency room treats an older adult because of a fall; every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. ✁ More than one-half (53%) of the older adults who are discharged for fall-related hip fractures will experience another fall in six months. Impact of Falls ✁ Falls are the leading cause of death due to injury among the elderly and 87% of all fractures in the elderly are due to falls. ✁ Falls account for roughly 25% of all hospital admissions and about 40% of all nursing home admissions. ✁ A growing number of older adults fear falling, and as a result, limit their activities and social engagements. This can result in further physical decline, depression, social isolation, and feeling helpless. Costs of Falls ✁ Healthcare expenses caused by falls cost $30 billion annually. ✁ The average cost of an injury from a fall was $19,440 (including hospital, nursing home, emergency room, and home healthcare expenses, but not physician services). Prevention Remember falling is not a normal part of aging. The following steps can help prevent falls: 4
Talk to Your Doctor ✁ Ask your healthcare provider to evaluate your risk of falling and talk about specific things to do to prevent yourself from falling. ✁ Review your medicines with your doctor or pharmacist to see if any might make you dizzy or sleepy. This should include prescription medicines and over-the-counter medicines. ✁ Ask your doctor or healthcare provider about taking vitamin D supplements. Take Daily Steps to Prevent Falls ✁ Engage in physical activity. Physical activity
✂✄☎ ✆✝✞✟✞☎✠ ✡✄☛☛☞✌ ✍✎✠✏ ✑✒✓✝ ✔✒✂✠✒✝✕☞
permission, do exercises that make your legs stronger and improve your balance. If you avoid physical activity because you are afraid, it will only make you more likely to fall. ✁ Wear sensible shoes. High heels, floppy slippers, and shoes with slick soles can make you slip and cause a fall. Wear properly fitting, sturdy shoes with nonskid soles. ✁ Avoid drinking too much alcohol. Alcohol can cause falls. Check Your Eyes ✁ Have an eye doctor check your eyes at least once a year, and update your eyeglasses if needed. ✁ If you have bifocal or progressive lenses, you may want to get glasses with only your distance prescription for outdoor activities, such as walking. Sometimes bifocals can make things seem closer or farther away than they really are. Make Your Home Safer ✁ Get rid of things you could trip over. ✁ Store clothing, dishes, food, and other necessities within easy reach. ✁ Immediately clean spilled liquids, grease, or food. ✁ Make the following changes to your home, if affordable: Add grab bars inside and outside your tub or shower and next to the toilet. Put railings on both sides of stairs. ✁ Make sure your home has lots of light by adding more or brighter light bulbs. Turn on the lights before using stairs. This will help you to avoid tripping on objects you cannot see.

Did you know that 70 percent of people who die from heat are seniors?

According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, there were 48 heat-related deaths in the state between 2011-2015, and most of those deaths involved people between the ages of 65 and 84. Those most vulnerable to heat include very young children, the elderly, and people with heart disease or high blood pressure. Individuals who are on certain medications may also be more susceptible to illnesses during extreme heat events. In addition, many victims of heat-related deaths are socially isolated, maintaining little contact with family and friends.

Read on to learn about the top foods for eye health.

Sweet potatoes are a good source of beta carotene, which may slow progress of macular degeneration. Your body converts beta carotene to vitamin A, a nutrient that helps prevent dry eyes and night blindness. Beta carotene and vitamin A also help reduce the risk eye infections. Fresh, juicy strawberries are a good thing for your eyes, and contain plenty of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that can help lower your risk of cataracts. Dry eyes? Start eating salmon or other types of fish (two to three times per week), walnuts (which also contain eye-healthy vitamin E), flax and chia seeds. Salmon also is a good source of vitamin D, which helps protect against macular degeneration.
