The Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association is offering a free presentation “Easy Does It: Reducing Falls Through Thoughtful Decisions” on Aug. 22 from 10 to 11 a.m. at Concord Recreation Senior Program, 14 Canterbury Road.
Falls can be a life-changing event that limits independence. Falls can happen anytime and anyplace and for most adults falls occur in their homes doing every day activities. Find out how to reduce your risk of falling through thoughtful decision-making and simple exercises to increase strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility.
