Healthy Steps for Older Adults Workshop – Grinnell
EVENT DETAILS
Falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults. Each year, one in four people aged 65 or older experiences a fall, which can affect mobility, independence, and overall quality of life.
To help address this issue, Northeast Iowa Area Agency on Aging (NEI3A) is offering Healthy Steps for Older Adults (HSOA), an evidence-based fall risk screening and education program designed for adults age 50 and older.
This interactive class provides practical guidance on reducing fall risks through:
- Choosing proper footwear
- Making your home safer
- Maintaining good nutrition for bone health
- Practicing simple exercises that build strength and balance
Participants will also take home a program handbook with exercises and resources to support ongoing health and independence.
Date & Time: Thursday, December 18, 9:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Location: West Side Family Restaurant, 229 6th Ave. W, Grinnell, IA 50112
Lunch will be provided. The classes are available with a suggested voluntary contribution of $25. Scholarships are available for those who request financial assistance.
Register by December 11 by contacting Avri Ruffcorn at 319-287-1184 or aruffcorn@nei3a.org.
