Mesothelioma is a cancer that affects the mesothelium, the thin tissue lining that covers many of the internal organs. There are three forms of the disease: pleural, peritoneal, and pericardial. Since the disease takes such a long time to develop, seniors tend to be the largest group affected by this disease.

Slips and falls for seniors is one of their biggest risks of getting seriously injured. It can be extremely scary for those involved, and can result in a long hospital stay. We wanted to create a guide that details why seniors are prone to slips and falls, how we can mitigate the risk, and what are the steps for the person and also their family or caregivers if it does happen.

Mesothelioma is a rare and serious cancer that affects the mesothelium, or lining, of various organs. Our seniors community is the population that can be more affected since there is a 20-40 year latency between asbestos exposure and cancer development at a very late age.
