Hip injuries, resulting from falls, are the leading cause of injury death and the main cause of nonfatal injuries that limit independent living among people 65 years and older. While medications, such as sedatives and anti-anxiety drugs, often increase the risk of falls and fall-related injuries, poor vision, and just difficulty in moving from place to place put the elderly at risk of a fall that may result in a fatal or debilitating hip injury or hip fracture.
“We took our first look at Hipsavers in 2002. Since then they have become a key tool in our Fall Safety Programme. HipSavers really do work for our people and the soft pads ensure high levels of resident compliance. Delivery is always prompt and the staff at HipSaver are always ready to help.”
