Statistically 1 in 4 older adults over the age of 65 fall every year. As we age, our risk of falling increases. In this workshop we will discuss 1) why older adults have a higher risk factor for falls; 2) what are the risk factors for falls; 3) how to decrease your risk of falls; 4) how to increase your balance; and 5) what to do if you do fall. Presented by Steven Guarino, Senior Well-Being Specialist for Oaks Integrated Care. Funded through the Older Americans Act and Mercer County Office on Aging/ADRC.
Registration is required prior to the event.
