Today I traveled through the rain to Castro Valley in San Francisco to give a fall prevention workshop at Baywood Court Retirement Community. Back by popular demand, this is the second year I was invited to give my educational and interactive workshop and registration had to be closed after 55 people signed up. Today's audience was eager to learn about fall risk reduction and were fully engaged during my 45-minute presentation.
Baywood Court is an exclusive retirement community nestled in beautiful Castro Valley and both the staff and residents were welcoming and friendly. Gary Pike, President and Owner of Pike and Company Strategic Marketing, arranged for my presentation and did an excellent job advertising to the local community about today's educational presentation and introductory luncheon. The older adults in attendance were not only interested in learning how to remain independent but also considering future living options.
Older adult communities that offer services such as educational and interactive seminars, delicious luncheons, friendly residents, caring staff and tremendous speakers such as the Fall Prevention Lady will succeed in the competitive market of independent living. Older adult communities that provide evidence-based balance and mobility training will succeed in keeping their residents independent and out of the assisted living wing.
All for independence and remaining so,
The Fall Prevention Lady
