Facts on Falling:
Of the 35 million Americans over 65,
about 1 in 3 will fall in a given year. (Center for Disease Control,
"CDC")
Seniors are hospitalized for fall-related injuries 5 times more often
than they are for injuries from all other causes. Falls are the leading cause of
accidental death for seniors. (Center for Disease Control, "CDC")
50% of people who fall require assistance from someone else to get up.
After a fall or other emergency, 90% of people who get help within one
hour will continue independent living, but after 12 hours without help
only 10% of people will continue to live at home. (New England Journal
of Medicine)

Nearly one half of the older adults who incur a serious injury never
fully recover and many lose their ability to function independently for
the rest of their lives. A good proportion end up in nursing homes,
making falls and the injuries that result, one of the most substantial
health threats facing older adults. (Yale University School of
Medicine)
In 2003, more than 1.8 million seniors age 65 years and older were
treated in emergency departments for fall related injuries and more
than 421,000 were hospitalized. (Centers for Disease Control).

Facts on Emergencies:
Research supports the common sense notion
that getting prompt help makes surviving an emergency more likely.
The ability to get help also boosts the odds that a senior will
continue to live independently. The longer a person spends helpless,
the greater the likelihood he/she will be discharged into supportive
care.
For elderly people who live alone, becoming incapacitated and unable to
get help is a common event, which usually marks the end to their
ability to live independently.

Facts on Heart Attacks:
1.5 million Heart attacks occur in the
United States each year with 500,000 deaths. A heart attack occurs
about every 20 seconds with a heart attack death about every minute.
About 50% of deaths occur within one hour of the heart attack –outside
a hospital.
There is a only a 6% to 9% early mortality rate from a heart attack for
those who survive long enough to reach the hospital. Getting to the
hospital quickly is the goal. Deaths from cardiovascular diseases in
women exceed the total number of deaths caused by the next 16 causes.
Costs related to heart attack exceed 60 billion dollars per year.
Coronary Heart Disease is America's No. 1 killer. Stroke is No. 3 and a
leading cause of serious disability.
