A Matter of Balance Workshop (Sept-Nov 2022)

A Matter of Balance is an evidence based program that educates and supports aging adults around falling, and the fear of falling, with emphasis on group discussion and practical strategies to reduce fall factors. Topics such as viewing falls as controllable, setting realistic goals for increasing physical activity and modifying our environments set the stage for creating a personal plan to address mitigating fall risk.

SeniorCare will hold a Matter of Balance session every Monday from September 26, through November 21, 2022, 10:30am-12:30pm, at the Hamilton Council on Aging, located at 299 Bay Road in So. Hamilton.
