There is no better time than now to become fall smart!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention findings indicate that:
Many people do not know that fear of falling can actually become a self-fulfilling prophecy, putting us at an increased risk for falls. The good news is that you can face your fears and learn what you can do to increase your physical strength, flexibility and balance and decrease your risk of falling by attending the program “A Matter of Balance.” The County of Delaware Office of Services for the Aging (COSA) is offering A Matter of Balance FREE of charge virtually on Zoom.
Register by contacting Ellen Williams, Health and Wellness Program Manager at williamse@co.delaware.pa.us or by calling 610-499-1937. Space is limited.
What are others saying about A Matter of Balance?
“Now that I think about possible situations where I might be in danger of falling, I pre-plan a bit and also take care of my physical being as well, food, exercise, sleep, etc. Keep the program going. You have made us think about ways to help ourselves stay safe, healthy and balanced.”
“I made changes in my home. I would recommend the class to all my friends.”
Matter of Balance is free to PA residents age 60 and over and will be held virtually on Zoom.
