Event Description:
Every 11 seconds an older adult is treated in the ER for a fall. We'll help keep you out of the hospital so you can live your best life in the home you love. Aging in Place is more than installing grab bars and getting rid of slippery rugs, but doesn't necessarily require expensive renovations, either. Get strategies you can use right now to make home safer and more functional as you age.
- Go through a Spot the Risk Simulation
- Get home improvement tips for aging in place
- Learn DIY Fall Risk Assessments
- Try exercises to improve balance and strength
- Enjoy refreshments, socializing, more!
