My
wife is an amazing person. Time would
fail me if I tried to explain all of her great attributes. Recently my wife has taken a job that allows
her to blend her gift of caring for elderly and her medical experience. She works with a company that places
electronic medical alert devices with senior citizens. She got into this line of work after it
became obvious that her widowed mom needed such a device to stay in the home
she loved.
My
wife came to me this week excited about the special offer her company has for
the holiday season. If you have a
friend, loved one, family member who is over the age of 65 you are close to
someone who is at risk of falling. Falls
are the leading cause of accidental death for people over the age of 65. One third of people over the age of 65 will
fall this year; one half of those over the age of 80 will fall in the next 12
months. If a senior falls and doesn’t
get help in the first 60 minutes the chances of their full recovery diminish
radically.
