Fall prevention and maintaining mobility as we age

Falls are one of the most common causes of injury among older adults and can greatly impact your health and ability to maintain independence as you age. For those hoping to age in place, understanding how to reduce fall risk is essential.

Join Dr. Stephanie Saunders, a researcher who is part of the McMaster Monitoring My Mobility study (MacM3), for practical tips on how small changes in your home and lifestyle can help you to prevent falls and stay safe at home.

About the Bites & Insights Series

As we age, many of us want to know what we can do to stay healthy and live well. However, with an overwhelming amount of information available, it can be challenging to determine where to focus our efforts to achieve the greatest impact on our health and well-being.

Each session includes time for audience questions and open discussion. Light refreshments will be provided.

Bites & Insights is made possible through the generous support of the Hamilton Community Foundation.
