The Groveland Council on Aging is offering a series of events in recognition of Fall Prevention Awareness Week to help older adults reduce fall risk, maintain independence, and stay active.
Council on Aging Director Alyssa Lee notes “Falling is not a normal part of aging. However, falls remain the leading cause of serious injuries and death for older adults. The good news is they are preventable, and there are proven steps people can take to reduce their risk.”
