Press Release Summary: \"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that
falls are the leading cause of injury death for Americans 65 years and older\",
explains Yves Marie Danie Baptiste, an advocate for the safety of older adults.


Press Release Body: New York, NY, June 24, 2008 -- For many people, the arrival of
the 4th of July is a fun event. There will be barbecues, crowded parades, and
spectacular fireworks that go boom in the sky. But for home alone seniors living
without emergency alert systems the risk of losing their independence and having to
move into a nursing home increases every day.

\"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that falls are the leading
cause of injury death for Americans 65 years and older\", explains Yves Marie Danie
Baptiste, an advocate for the safety of older adults. \"Oftentimes, those injured
remain on the floor for many hours and sometimes days before somebody finds them and
calls for help. By then, it is usually too late to save their lives or prevent the
onset of permanent disability.

According to Baptiste, whose involvement with senior care organizations spreads
awareness of senior falls and educating the public on safety measures, the types of
injuries that occur does not have to lead to one losing their ability to care for
themselves and remain living in their homes if emergency systems are locked into
place.

"This would significantly decrease the likelihood of premature deaths," says
Baptiste. In fact, it would bring great peace of mind and comfort to the families
knowing that their loved ones are much safer and not alone in the event of an
accident.
