29 million Americans over 65 reported falling in 2014, with 7 million of those falls leading to injury, and direct medical costs of $31 billion annually. Falling once makes you twice as likely to fall again. And falls are the leading cause of death by injury for older adults
The problem is not going away. Here in the U.S., 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 every single day. Which means that by the year 2030, the number of older Americans projected to fall each year will grow from 29 million to 49 million.
Testimonials
Several months ago I found myself on the floor suddenly after walking to the garage to empty trash. I am very lucky my husband was at home to assist me. He attempted to help me up by lifting under my arms so that I could stand up. This was almost impossible as I have arthritis and could not put any pressure on my knees. We were so fortunate to find the Easy Lift Up. It enables me to just sit on the cushion and be lifted up high enough that I can just stand up, with no pressure on my knees.
