Because
Staying Independent is Important
Extend A
Hand provides independence for those who
might otherwise need assistance from others.
It provides the safety and security for an
elderly person to remain in their own home
as well as providing care facilities the
means to retain clients.

Extend A Hand
is an Effective Fall Prevention Device
The
proper installation and use of the Extend A Hand
grab bar
could significantly reduce injuries and deaths from
falling!
"In 1998, falls
in the home and community caused or led to 15,900
deaths. All age groups are
vulnerable, but older adults are most at risk.
Eight out of 10 of those killed by falls are
over age 65, and falls are the leading cause of
injury-related death among the very elderly, those
over 80.
"Falls are the number one cause of injury
death for males 80+ years old, the number one cause
of injury death for females 75+ years old, and falls
are also the leading cause of injury and hospital
admission for older adults.
"It may come as no surprise that the most
serious injury resulting from such falls is hip
fracture. Yet many of us would be shocked to learn
that more than 24% of all people suffering a hip
fracture die within a year of the fall and another
50% never return to their prior level of mobility or
independence.
"Of fall-related deaths, 41% take place
in the home, 14% in residential institutions and the
rest in other public places, according to the
National Center for Health Statistics."

Our
History:
Through visiting
many facilities and managing his as well, it came
to Extend A Hand President, Larry Sarff's
attention that the traditional grab bar didn't aid
the user enough. In most applications people can
not reach them with both hands from a sitting
position. The conventional grab bar lacks an
ergonomic design, thus its overall design does not
capture its main objective, reducing risk of
falls. This assessment was documented with two
residents at Cedar House, an assisted living care
facility.
|
The safety of
the residents and staff was the inspiration for
building the first 'extend a hand' product. The
results after installation and testing of the
prototype far exceeded expectations. Not only
did we accomplish the goal of added safety for
the residents, but we achieved a greater level
of independence for the residents, with renewed
dignity. Plus an added benefit to the facility
was a decrease in chance of injury to the staff
due to over exerting while maneuvering a
resident. Ultimately, residents were able to
stay within the assisted care facility longer
before moving on to a full care facility. That
prototype led to the industry tested and
approved Extend A Hand product we offer today.
