Prevent Falls, Stay Independent

Did you know that falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults? The good news is that many falls can be prevented. The Middlesex County Empowering Seniors Fall Prevention Network helps older adults reduce their risk of falls through education, exercise, and evidence-based programs designed to improve strength, balance, and confidence.

Simple steps like staying physically active, removing tripping hazards at home, and participating in fall prevention programs can help older adults remain healthy, active, and independent.
