Matter of Balance
As you age, the chances and the results of falling become much more severe. However, you can reduce your chances of falling and also learn to control falls if they do occur. Matter of Balance is a program designed with older people in mind that will teach you the skills needed to live a full, unrestricted life without fear of falling. 
Is this Program for Me?

Concerned About Falling?

Many older adults experience concerns about falling and restrict their activities. A Matter of Balance is an award-winning program designed to manage falls and increase activity levels. You will learn to:

  • view falls as controllable
  • set goals for increasing activity
  • make changes to reduce fall risks at home
  • exercise to increase strength and balance

Who should attend?

Anyone who:

  • is concerned about falls
  • is interested in improving balance, flexibility, and strength
  • has fallen in the past
  • has restricted activities because of falling concerns

Classes are 2 hours twice a week for 4 weeks, or once a week for 8 weeks (varying according to location). Program fee is $10.

Sunshine and Smiles
Sunshine & Smiles is an intergenerational play group. The group, facilitated by a volunteer, allows parents and their typically pre-school age children and nursing home residents to connect and interact. The group meets once a month and benefits all involved. As one resident at Rosewalk Village said, “This is the best day I’ve ever had.” These visits are especially meaningful to those residents whose family members are not able to visit very often. Children who don’t live near their grandparents or great-grandparents also benefit by getting to spend time with an older generation.

Raising Awareness of Chronic Care Management
Nearly half of all adults in America live with at least one chronic disease. Typical healthcare can not always deal with each individual's needs. However, there are strategies that everyone can tailor to fit their own personality and lifestyle. A few healthcare professionals are embracing these strategies across the country, bringing the issue of chronic pain management to light and raising awareness in insurance companies.
