ADT’s Google Plus Hangout: Senior Safety and Fall Prevention

Did you know that one-third of the population, over the age of 65, falls each year? Did you know that falls in the elderly can be greatly reduced by simply getting the right kind of exercise? Each year thousands of older Americans entrust their safety to caregivers. Senior safety, especially fall prevention, continues to be their number one concern. Join ADT’s senior care experts as we host a live question and answer Google+ hangout created to give caregivers some fall prevention tips and help them secure the safety of our senior citizens.   

Thank you to everyone that tuned into ADT’s Fall Prevention Google Hangout!
