s - Fall Prevention
Unintentional falls are dangerous and sometimes life-threatening to seniors. However, most falls can be prevented by making changes to your environment, routine and behavior.
In Niagara County, Let’s Get Physical has begun a new initiative to prevent falls among Niagara County Seniors. Partnering with the Niagara County Office for the Aging, HANCI’s Let’s Get Physical program offers group presentations and printed materials to help older adults avoid dangerous falls.
Learning how to avoid or cope with falls can be essential for a longer, more fulfilling life. Let's Get Physical Fall Prevention presentations teaches everything older adults need to know about how to prevent falls in homes, including proper footwear and attire, emergency monitoring systems and even light exercises to do every day to increase balance and stability.
If you would like to schedule a speaking engagement or have your staff trained in fall prevention, contact Program Director Jimmy Rowe at (716) 285-8224.
