Many people assume that falling is just a normal part of aging. The truth is, older adults can take steps to build balance, strength, and confidence to reduce their risk. Taking action now is one of the best ways to protect your health and independence for years to come. Falls prevention activities aren’t just practical—they’re engaging, social, and fun for people of all ages!
During Falls Prevention Week, many of AgeGuide’s Funded Partners are hosting special events. These are a perfect opportunity to explore a falls prevention class, experience the exercises firsthand, and discover how simple strategies can make a big difference. Attending a class not only helps you stay strong and steady, but also connects you with others who share the same goal of living safely and independently. Find a class near you below!
