Alzheimer’s disease is a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks.
Common behavioral symptoms of Alzheimer’s include sleeplessness, wandering, agitation, anxiety, and aggression.
Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s can have significant physical, emotional, and financial costs.
Becoming well-informed about the disease is one important long-term strategy.
Falls Are Serious and Costly
According to the CDC,
•One out of five falls causes a serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury.
•Each year, 3 million older people are treated in emergency departments for fall injuries.
•Over 800,000 patients a year are hospitalized because of a fall injury, most often because of a head injury or hip fracture.
•Each year, at least 300,000 older people are hospitalized for hip fractures.
•More than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling, usually by falling sideways.
•Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
•In 2015, the total medical costs for falls totaled more than $50 billion. Medicare and Medicaid shouldered 75% of these costs.
