Health care providers and emergency medical services personnel are sometimes called on to assist when elderly people in Austin, San Antonio, and Georgetown are found in their homes in need of emergency attention and unable to summon help.

In a typical case, a neighbor notices an elderly person’s absence or the fact that mail has piled up and calls emergency services. The precipitating incident can be a fall, a stroke, failure to thrive, or some other senior event. The clinical course for persons found alive but incapacitated can be complicated by factors related to the duration of time since the person became helpless, such as severe dehydration or decubitus ulcers.

The prognosis for such elderly patients is thought to be poor. Because of the variety of possible causes of these events, some health care providers refer to patients found in these circumstances as “found down,” with the amount of time that the patient is helpless referred to as “down time.”

Conclusions – For elderly people who live alone, becoming incapacitated and unable to get help is a common event, which usually marks the end of their ability to live independently.
