Falls Prevention Workshop – Oct. 5th: Preventing Falls, Preserving Independence: Free Workshop for Older Adults in Ross Community In a dedicated effort to keep our older residents safe and independent, Kendal at Home, the Ross Township Fire Department, and the Ross Community Foundation are joining forces to offer a comprehensive Falls Prevention Workshop. This free event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 5th, at 11:00 AM at the Ross Fire Station,1308 Ross Millville Rd., (US 27), as part of the Ross Township Fire Department's Open House on October 6th. CDC reports that falls are the leading cause of injury and death among adults over 65, with one fall doubling the risk of falling again. Our goal in presenting this free event is to keep our older neighbors safe and remaining independent in their homes! This vital community event is made possible by the generous support of the Ross Community Foundation, which is also sponsoring refreshments for the workshop. All members of the community, particularly older adults, are encouraged to attend. Our older neighbors are a precious part of the Ross community, and this event aims to equip them with the tools and knowledge needed to stay safe and independent in their homes. Space is limited, so please recommend those interested to secure their spot by contacting Wendy Fetters at (513) 300-5663 or registering at https://www.kendalathome.org/10/05/2024-fall-prevention-workshop
