Fall Prevention

By Mindy Mendoza – Executive Director, Prestige Assisted Living at Lancaster

As we get older, physical and cognitive changes can lead to everyday activities becoming a little more difficult.

Those changes can render something as common as getting up and walking to the kitchen to gradually become dangerous for seniors, as falling becomes more of a concern. It can be particularly acute for those dealing with memor y loss - individuals living with dementia are five times more likely to fall than older adults living without a cognitive impairment.

Overall, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in three Americans 65 and older falls every year, and 2.8 million injuries from falls are treated in emergency centers annually.

At Prestige Assisted Living at Lancaster, we understand the risk factors that can lead to falls, as well as preventative measures to keep your loved ones safe. Understanding Risk Factors

Here To Help

At Prestige Assisted Living at Lancaster, fall prevention is always top-of-mind. Studies show that regular exercise improves balance, muscle strength and flexibility; all reducing the risk of falling. To that end, we developed our Energize Exercise program, featuring three levels:

• Activate: Stretch & Strength Class • Invigorate: Strength & Balance Class • Energize: Brain & Body Class

Our team can help guide your loved one into the program that best suits their needs and risk factors.
