TOOLS & TIPS FOR SAFETY AND INDEPENDENCE AT HOME
Friday, October 15, 9-10 am
As we age, daily tasks can become harder and put us at risk for falls, medication mismanagement and decreased mobility. Join us to learn how to Work Smarter not Harder with Fox Rehab
On the third Friday of each month join us for a new speaker addressing a wide range of issues that will help our community age well and prevent falls.
A FEW KEY STATISTICS
A progressive loss of muscle mass occurs starting at age 40 and loss can continue to increase each decade.

The top 5 causes of falls in the Fox Valley include: tripping/stumbling, falling from a chair, falling down steps, falling from a height (off of a roof/object), and falling off of ladders.
