Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association is offering a free presentation “Small Steps to Minimize the Risk of Falls” on Friday, June 20 from 10 to 11 a.m. at Pleasant View Retirement, 227 Pleasant St.
One in three older Americans falls each year. Falls can result in hip fractures, broken bones, head injuries, or even cause an older adult to become fearful or depressed making it difficult to remain active. It is important to realize that falls do not need to be accepted as a natural part of aging and can be prevented. Explore common factors that can lead to a fall and simple steps you can take to minimize the risk.
For more information, call 224-4093 or 1-800-924-8620, ext. 5815.
