If an Elderly Person Falls What to Do
If your elderly loved one is falling, it’s important to remain calm. Ask them to take slow, deep breaths and reassure them they are safe.
Assess them for visible injuries like bruises, bleeding and possible sprains or broken bones. If they are in severe pain, call 911 and keep them as warm, comfortable and still as possible until help arrives.
Do not move them until they are alert and able to tell you their pain, where it is located and how severe it is. If they are not in severe pain, then move them by moving the second chair directly behind them.
Get Your Senior Up Using a Chair
The first step to helping your loved one up from a fall is to get them up from the ground. dementia locator Find a sturdy chair and position it next to them on the floor. Have them sit back into it with both their arms and legs. Your role is to assist with the physical work of getting them up by using your hands, but you must not lift their weight!
Stop if they get stuck, experience pain or become tired from the effort and strain of getting up. If they are not able to get up on their own, call for assistance by calling the non-emergency ambulance.
Several risk factors can contribute to falls, such as vision decline and health issues. In addition, some medications seniors take can cause drowsiness, low blood pressure and dizziness, all of which increase the likelihood of falling. If you notice any changes in your aging parent’s blood pressure, it may be time to see their doctor for a checkup.
