Balance Fair was a success

AFP

Did you know that 30% of people over 65 fall each year?  American Senior Care sponsored a Balance Fair at the Center on Feb. 6, evaluating the fall risk of 10 community guest and 11 members. Of those screened 7 individuals were at a high risk. Those that were at risk, all opted to have their results mailed to their primary care provider for further evaluation. It was a successful event accompanied with delicious refreshments and Starbucks coffee. Special thanks to Jill Rowe of American Senior Care.
