MA Home Care Services News
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
- An estimated 25 percent of Americans ages 65+ fall every year (a number that increases as people age).
- Every 11 seconds an older adult is treated in a hospital emergency room for a fall and every 19 minutes an older adult dies from a fall.
- Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of non-fatal trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults.
- Falls result in more than 2.8 million injuries treated in emergency departments annually, including over 800,000 hospitalizations and more than 27,000 deaths.
- Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among adults aged ≥65 years (older adults).
When it comes to senior care, one thing is indisputable: a vast majority of people, including our local seniors here in Plymouth, MA, prefer to remain at home to receive care as they age. This preference for home care remains strong among all seniors, even with those who struggle with their basic health and mobility. After all, as surveys show, they want to live amid the comfort and familiarity of what they’ve known for years, for as long as they can. 
We are very excited to announce that we have teamed up with award-winning Beach Plum Floral and Event Design in Marshfield, MA to deliver re purposed floral arrangements to seniors at home.
