A free “Healthy Steps for Older Adults” fall-prevention workshop will be offered at the Meadowbrook Center, 23 Meadowbrook Drive, Schuylkill Haven from 10 to 11 a.m. Mondays and Thursdays from Sept. 30 through Oct. 24.

Healthy Steps for Older Adults is a program for people ages 60 and older to help reduce the risk of falls.

The program consists of one-hour sessions twice a week for four weeks. Each session includes strength and balance exercises and focuses on building strength, increasing flexibility and improving balance.

“We don’t want people to become a statistic,” says Jenny Wagner of Diakon Community Services. “Falls are a leading cause of hospitalization and disability for adults over age 60. When you keep yourself healthy and take safety precautions in your home, you help to minimize risk.”
