Independence at Home Presents Fall Prevention - a Free Virtual Class

One out of every four people over 65 will have a fall this year. Injuries related to falls, like broken hips and head trauma, lead to emergency room visits, hospital stays and even nursing home placement. That’s the bad news. The good news is that falls are preventable.

This free one-hour program features a live instructor to explain what poses as fall risks and how to take simple measures to avoid falling.

Every Month Independence at Home offers a variety of classes in English and Spanish that can be enjoyed by people 55+ and their caregivers. Login at home, or ask a local senior center to share the class to a whole group in their facility.

All classes can also be accessed via the Calendar section of the nonprofit's website www.independenceathome.org
