A simple fall can change your life. Just ask any older adult who has fallen and broken a bone.  As we age, changes can occur in our vision, hearing, muscle strength, coordination and balance.  Other factors such as chronic conditions, medication use, home and community environment and even type of shoes can impact balance and cause a fall. The great news is that many falls can be prevented and the more you take care of your overall health and well-being the more you lower your risk of a fall.  Check out the fall prevention resources listed below:
