Connect and Learn: Fall Prevention and Home Safety
South Arkansas Center on Aging Education Center presents ‘Connect and Learn’ in partnership with Courtyard Health and Rehab Center on September 21, 2017. We wanted to extend our vision in order to help educate and empower older adults in the community. Guest speaker, Kendall Wilson with the Medical Center of South Arkansas, presented Fall Prevention tips and Home Safety for Older Adults. Falls are the leading cause of injury, deaths, hospitalizations, and emergency room visits among adults 65 and older. Kendall addressed tips to prevent falls with a heavy focus on medications and importance of exercise.
This program was offered in the evening and a light dinner was served courtesy of Courtyard.
