Each year, millions of older people—those 65 and older—fall. In fact, more than one out of four older people falls each year, but less than half tell their doctor. Falling once doubles your chances of falling again.* Falls can be a significant risk for seniors, and our goal is to provide practical tips and recommendations to help you stay safe and independent at home. We will cover common fall risks in different areas of the home and discuss factors that can contribute to the risk of falling. Our experienced rehabilitation therapist will guide you through recommended home safety modifications for living spaces, stairs, entrances, and outdoor areas.&nbsp;

About The First Lady of World War II:
On August 27, 1943, news broke in the United States that First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was on the other side of the world. A closely guarded secret, she had left San Francisco aboard a military transport plane headed for the South Pacific to support and report the troops on WW2's front lines.
Americans had believed she was secluded at home.
As Allied forces battled the Japanese for control of the region, Eleanor was there on the frontlines, spending five weeks traveling, on a mission as First Lady of the United States to experience what our servicemen were experiencing... and report back home.
"No other U.S. mother had seen so much of the panorama of the war, had been closer to the sweat and boredom, the suffering."
―Time, October 4, 1943
