Falls Prevention for Seniors at October Health Night program

An accidental fall can happen to anyone. But a fall for a senior can have devastating effects. Balance related falls account for 50 percent of accidental deaths in people over 65. Reduce falls by organizing your home environment. You can also learn strength and balance exercises to decrease your fall risk.
