Healthy Steps for Older Adults – Maquoketa
EVENT DETAILS
👟 Take Steps to Prevent Falls!
Did you know that 1 in 4 adults age 65+ experiences a fall each year? Falls can make it harder to stay active, complete everyday tasks, and maintain independence. That’s why Northeast Iowa Area Agency on Aging (NEI3A) is bringing the Healthy Steps for Older Adults class to Maquoketa!

✔️ Proper footwear
✔️ Home safety tips
✔️ Nutrition for strong bones
✔️ The importance of regular exercise
✔️ Easy at-home exercises to improve strength and balance
