Understanding Fall Prevention

What families in Atlantic County need to know

Falls are the leading cause of injury-related emergency room visits and hospitalizations for adults over 65. Approximately one in four older adults falls each year, and 20% of those falls result in serious injury.

Atlantic County spans shore communities and inland suburbs, with home care demand concentrated among the county's substantial retiree population. For fall prevention care specifically, Atlantic County families benefit from proximity to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, which serves as the county's primary acute-care and discharge-coordination anchor.

Post-hospital discharge coordination: When a Atlantic County senior is discharged after a fall prevention-related admission, private-pay home care can typically start within 24-48 hours. AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's case management team works directly with local premium home care providers to arrange coverage before the person arrives home.

Care intensity in Atlantic County: Care intensity varies by fall risk — moderate risk needs part-time supervision; high risk with recent falls typically requires 24-hour coverage.

Safety focus: Nighttime bathroom trips are the single most common fall scenario — overnight caregiver presence is protective, as are motion-activated lighting and bedside commodes for higher-risk seniors.
