4 HAWAII RENOVATION NOVEMBER 27, 2022
DON’T RUIN THE HOLIDAYS WITH A
PREVENTABLE FALL
As the holidays approach, my best words of advice are to be careful. As se- niors, we sometimes forget we are old. I was talking to one of my neighbors and noticed he had a brace on his leg. I said, “what happened?” And he told me that he fell. I asked “where?” and he said in the shower. I asked how bad is it and he replied, “bad enough to ruin my holidays.” I thought, “Isn’t that interesting? Here I am, in the age-in-place bathroom business, and I never thought to approach my neighbor about his bathroom.” I never thought he was old enough to need help or maybe I was just too busy. What a lousy friend, I was thinking to myself. I know the statistics, so I will tell you so you won’t ruin your holidays, too.
Seventy-two percent of all se- niors are hurt falling getting in and out of the tub. Ninety-two percent of seniors are hurt falling in the bathroom. These are pretty stagger- ing stats when you think about it.
Yes, we are all procrastinators. Yes, we don’t want to spend the
money — especially since gas and food doubled recently. Yet, my best advice to all seniors is be pro- active. And here’s why:
If seniors can save a ton on hos- pital bills by not falling — plus save rehab and possibly care home bills — we will be way ahead. So, here’s the plan. Fix your bathroom and quit procrastinating. Sure, it may cost a few bucks to change the tub to a low entry shower with a non-slip floor, put in some handi- bars and make the bathroom safer, but the cost of that is nothing com- pared to hospital bills.
If only I had taken the time to communicate this in a gentle way to my neighbor. Well, now I am communicating this to all of you.
Be proactive. Keep your quality of life and enjoy life and your holidays.
