HEALTHY STEPS - Part 2
Did you know?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that:
- Every 20 minutes an older adult in the U.S. dies from a fall.
- Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injury.
What can you do? Be proactive! Attend the Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging’s Healthy Steps Program.
Healthy Steps is a program developed by the Pennsylvania Department of Aging to help reduce the risk of falls among older adults. The program’s focus is on:
*Environmental & Home Safety
*Health Status/Disease States
*Nutrition
*Maintaining an Active Lifestyle
*Foot Health
*Social Connectedness
*Sensory Deficits (vision & hearing)
*Mental & Spiritual Well-being
*Side Effects of Medication
*Exercises to Increase Strength, Balance & Flexibility
Space is limited so advanced registration is required. Those who register will be contacted by COSA's Health and Wellness Program Manager to schedule an appointment for a fall risk assessment to be held at the library on Wednesday, September 11th.
