MONTHLY FALL ASSESSMENTS:
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries for older Americans. Falls are costly—in dollars and in quality of life. HOWEVER, FALLING IS NOT AN INEVITABLE PART OF AGING. Through practical lifestyle adjustments and evidence- based programs the number of falls among seniors can be reduced substantially.

Weight bearing exercise and strength training are specifically helpful in preventing bone loss and improving body composition. Studies show that people who engage in an exercise program that places appropriate load have a greater bone mineral density than sedentary people.
