That’s why it’s important to know why seniors are at greater risk and what to do if you suspect that you (or someone you love) might have a UTI.

Understanding Fall Risk in the Elderly — and How Homewatch CareGivers of North Dallas Can Help

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults. As people age, changes in balance, mobility, vision, and muscle strength can significantly increase the risk of falling. According to the CDC, one out of four older adults falls each year, often leading to serious injuries such as hip fractures, head trauma, or loss of independence.

Why Are Seniors at Higher Risk?

Several factors contribute to fall risk in the elderly:

• Decreased balance and coordination
• Side effects from medications
• Poor vision or hearing
• Cluttered or unsafe home environments
• Chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, or Parkinson’s

These risks can be compounded when seniors live alone or lack regular support.

How Homewatch CareGivers of North Dallas Can Help

Homewatch CareGivers of North Dallas provides essential in-home services that help reduce the risk of falls while supporting overall health and independence. Their caregivers are trained to recognize fall hazards and implement practical solutions, including:

• Home safety assessments to identify and remove tripping hazards
• Mobility assistance with walking, transferring, and getting up safely
• Medication reminders to reduce dizziness or confusion from improper dosing
• Personal care support such as bathing and dressing to prevent slips in the bathroom
• Companionship and monitoring to ensure someone is always there to help when needed

Peace of Mind for Families

Homewatch CareGivers of North Dallas prioritizes safety, dignity, and individualized care—making sure every client is supported both physically and emotionally.
