If your senior loved one lives at home independently, you may already know the worry that can accompany every additional diagnosis or challenge. It\u2019s common for family caregivers to lose sleep over worrying about their senior loved one\u2019s safety when they are alone at home. However, moving to a senior living community is not always the best option. Fortunately, you can keep track of your loved one\u2019s needs and daily routines thanks to Cherry Home, a discreet fall monitoring system.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the <\/span>National Council on Aging<\/span><\/a>, falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. Every 11 seconds, an older adult visits the emergency room due to a fall. Even more startling, an older adult dies from a fall-related injury every 19 minutes. Falling is a senior health crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n While seniors fall for a variety of reasons, ranging from medication side effects to decreased balance due to an underlying condition, one thing is certain: most family caregivers do not know how much their loved one is falling at home until there is a crisis event. In fact, physicians and medical professionals estimate seniors fall much more often than they report to their loved ones or doctors.<\/span><\/p>\n Cherry Home, along with other fall monitoring systems, offer a solution through detection. While some fall monitoring systems<\/a> require a pendant, bracelet, or other wearable devices, Cherry Home acknowledges that seniors may not always wear their device which puts them at risk of falling without anyone realizing it. Cherry Home instead uses technology throughout the home to observe the older adult and recognize falls or other events.<\/span><\/p>\nHow Cherry Home Detects Falls<\/b><\/h2>\n
