Stay Strong – A Fall Prevention Program

This program is a one-on-one in-home program for people who would  have difficulty participating in a Fall Prevention Program outside of their  home because of mobility and fear of falling.

The program is aimed at improving strength and balance to reduce the  risk of falls and increase the participant’s ability to safely leave the  home.

A trained instructor will conduct five home visits to:

• Teach and demonstration strength and balance exercises that can be done at home, individually, or with the help of a caregiver
• Help participants choose an  appropriate exercise class in the community, as well as arrange transportation  if needed.
