We all know someone who has had a bad fall – please don’t let that happen to you! There are four major steps that will greatly increase your chances of avoiding falls and the life threatening injuries that can result. Knowing and practicing these recommendations will help you to develop a safer home environment and will also benefit your overall health. Please join us as Mary Linton, RN, describes the important steps that the CDC advises for everyone but especially for seniors. You will hear an explanation of a room by room safety check and receive a checklist to take with you for use at your own home.
This program is presented as a joint effort between the Immaculate Conception/St. Joseph Parish Health Ministry and the Capital District Senior Issues Forum. For more information, please call the parish office, at 518-794-7651, Mon-Fri, 10 am to 2 pm.
