Safety First for Savvy Seniors

"I've fallen and I can't get up." We've seen that commercial time and time again, but for seniors it's no joke. The Home Safety Council reports that deaths from home injuries and car accidents triple for adults between the ages of sixty-five and eighty-four, and are eight times as much for those eighty-five and older. The book describes simple dos and don'ts of basic safety techniques seniors can use at home, while traveling, behind the wheel of a car, in meal preparation, during a hospital stay, in dating and sex, while shopping or exercising, taking medications, avoiding crime, and other venues. The book includes an extensive resource list to help seniors find additional safety information.
