September is a special month at Legacy Link as we shine a spotlight on two important themes: Fall Prevention Month and Senior Center Awareness Month. These focus areas go hand-in-hand to help older adults stay safe, social, and supported all year long.
Fall Prevention: Your Safety Matters
Did you know that one in four adults over 65 experiences a fall each year? Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults—but the good news is, most falls are preventable!
Here are just a few ways to reduce your risk:
- Stay physically active to build strength and balance
- Remove trip hazards in your home
- Get your vision and medications checked regularly
- Wear supportive footwear
- Use assistive devices as needed
