Free fall prevention workshops for seniors in Sacramento

As part of the Sierra Health Foundation and the North Sacramento Grandparents Support group, I will be offering two FREE fall prevention workshops in April, 2014.  This educational workshop is designed for older adults who are raising their grandchildren however any older adult who is concerned about falling is more than welcome to attend. 

This dynamic two-hour workshop will not only educate about fall risk factors associated with growing older and loss of balance but also teach evidence-based fall prevention exercises proven to reduce the risk of an accidental fall.

Since the goal is to facilitate behavior change and adherence of easy-to-do exercises proven to prevent falls, each participant will receive materials to take home.  We are lucky to have received grant funding to make this possible. Thus, PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

Both workshops will be held at Lakeview Village in Citrus Heights.  This older adult mobile home community has a large, centrally located clubhouse where the workshop will be held.  There will also be a light luncheon afterward.   Both the workshop and lunch are FREE so mark your calendars.
And don't forget to save your spot.  REGISTER TODAY!!!
