The Average Senior lives at least 8 hours away from the nearest relative...

The average senior lives at least 8 hours away from the nearest relative. This puts them in a situation that they cannot get consistent checkups from people who care about their well-being. While neighbors and caregivers can be kind and provide some support, it does not mean that they will be around at all times such as in the middle of the night or early mornings when most falls occur.

SOCIAL ISOLATION MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF FALLS... 

WATCH... This short video provides the sobering facts. 

Loneliness and social isolation can lead to more falls, but it doesn't mean they won't have a plan just in case. Using Electronic Caregiver's auto-fall detection, daily wellness checks, and GPS tracking we can better protect and secure those who are most vulnerable. By connecting with the care team we provide peace of mind that loved ones have a watchful eye ready to jump into action at a moment's notice. Talk about how you can make the isolated less alone today with Electronic Caregiver.



When it comes to isolation and the adverse effects it has on the aging population, here are a few things to remember:

  • It was estimated that 30–40% of older people fell at least once each year, with over a third of falls resulting in injuries ranging from soft-tissue injury to hip fracture and intracranial trauma.
  • The risk of falls resulting in hospitalization was 23 percent higher in people living alone and 36 percent higher among those with the least social contact compared with those with the most.
  • Falls have a detrimental impact on older people's functionality and mental health and increase the risk of being admitted to care homes.
  • Falls are a considerable financial burden to the health and social care system.
  • Social distancing has reduced the levels of physical activity, which could harm physical health.
  • Maintaining an active lifestyle at home is essential for older adults' health, especially those with chronic diseases and geriatrics syndromes.

The past year has been challenging, but it's been even more difficult for the aging and vulnerable. Unable to see loved ones, attend church, and adapt to a new way of taking care of themselves, having to do it mostly alone. It takes a toll, and it can lead to anxiety and stress, leading to worsening illness and reduced physical capacity. It's time to talk about it with your loved ones, your friends with aging parents, and give them a way to check in and have some peace of mind.

Seniors, stay hydrated tips. Plus Minnesota needs Interviewers for Assisted Living Residents and Nursing Homes. Great pay and only 20 hours per week.

  I’m spreading the word about the MN QOL project! (See below).  SENIORS, STAY COOL AND STAY HYDRATED.  Stay in air-conditioned buildings as much as possible. If your home doesn't have air conditioning, contact your local health department or locate an air-conditioned shelter in your area. Do not rely on a fan as your main cooling source when it's really hot outside. Drink more water than usual and  don't wait  until you're thirsty to drink. If your doctor limits the amount of fluids you drink or has you on water pills, ask them how much you should drink during hot weather. Don't use the stove or oven to cook—it will make you and your house hotter. Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Take cool showers or baths to cool down. Do not engage in very strenuous activities and get plenty of rest. Check on a friend or neighbor and have someone do the same for you.
