Each year, millions of people over age 65 fall. In fact, 1 out of 4 people over 65 fall each year. These falls can make it hard for an older individual to get around, do everyday activities, or live independently. Northeast Iowa Area Agency on Aging is hosting Healthy Steps for Older Adults (HSOA) classes in Oelwein. HSOA is an evidence-based fall risk screening and education class for adults aged 50 and over focusing on fall prevention, covering topics such as proper footwear, safety at home, good nutrition for bone health, and the importance of exercise. Participants will also learn at-home exercises to improve strength and balance.
