million living in the care homes. The other 83% live with their family for support and assistance in living.
Although nursing homes provide health and safety for seniors, accidents and injuries within the nursing
homes is still very common, About 1,800 people living in nursing homes die each year from falls and
2-6% suffer severe fractures. Due to the common accidents and injuries to seniors, they often seek as-
sistance in daily living as they lose mobility and independence to live on their own due to their fragility.
Data indicates that 91% of all residents within nursing homes seek assistance in daily living activities.
