August 6 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Falls are the leading cause of injury and hospitalization for trauma — as well as trauma-related death — among older adults. If you are 65 or older, have had a fall in the past year, or live alone, this workshop provides information on keeping balance, the causes of falls, and dangers to look out for. Topics covered include:
- Simple and fun balance and strength training
- The role that vision plays in keeping your balance
- How medications can contribute to falls
- What to look for in safe footwear
- How to eliminate fall hazards in your home
We meet once a week for 2 hour sessions for 8 weeks starting Tuesday September 19th at 10:00am. We will meet at John Lutheran Church, 218 W 2nd St., Alma, KS 664011.
