Help with Patient falls
Healthcare professionals often recommend VitalCALL after patients experience a fall, or health incident. VitalCALL offers your patients reassurance and assistance should any health incident occur at home.
Slips and falls in the home are hazardous for anyone, but they can be life-threatening for older people. Every year, 1 in 3 people over 65 injure themselves in a fall. This is alarming enough however, this rises to 1 in 2 for people aged 80 and over. An investigation revealed that of the 65-plus age group interviewed 193,954 had injuries from falling. ¹
A simple way to help people cope with the risk of falls-related injuries at home is to use VitalCALL Pearl Standard or Pearl Advanced Pendant. VitalCALL enables people who have been injured, fallen, or become ill in their own homes to call for help by simply pressing the pendant button. The Pearl Advanced Pendant offers extra protection where it may pick up a significant fall and subsequent impact.

We recommend that elderly patients speak to their local doctor or therapist about preventing falls at home. Here you’ll find valuable information to help them stay safe:
