Boost Your Balance
Balance is critical to help prevent falls. Staff or retired medical professionals conduct an in-home screening to identify areas of risk and then work with you to set up a plan to reduce those risks.
“This screen made me think about potential fall issues. You have helped so much and given me ideas. I’ll be telling others about what I’ve learned!”
You Can Help Prevent a Fall
- 25% of people over the age of 65 fall every year
- On average, 23 people per day are seen in our Green Bay Emergency Departments due to falls
- Falls can lead to loss of independence, disability and even death – they can be prevented!
You, your church, and/or your organization’s older adult members will benefit from learning about how to prevent a fall so they can stay healthy and active.
