These programs help older adults stay safe and healthy in their homes.

We offer programs specifically related to fall prevention and chronic disease self-management because:

• Falls are the number one reason why older adults visit the emergency department.
• 40% of people who enter a nursing home have had a fall in the prior 30 days.
• Chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease are the leading cause of death for older adults.

When older adults learn the skills to prevent falls and manage their chronic conditions, they can enjoy much healthier, happier years at home.
