The Fall Emergency Plan Every Senior Should Have (Life Alert Clinician Explains)
Learn about how to make a fall emergency plan for seniors and exactly what to do if you fall so you and your loved ones are ready before it ever happens.
Falls in the elderly are the leading cause of injury for adults 65 and older — and what happens in the minutes after a fall often matters more than the fall itself. In this video, a clinician walks you through a simple fall emergency plan you can write down, test, and share: who to contact, how help gets inside your home, what to do after a fall, how to get up after a fall safely, and the hidden medication risks most families never check. Essential fall safety for seniors, and especially for anyone who needs an emergency plan for seniors living alone.
