Event Details

Falls are not a normal part of aging. For adults aged 65 and older, they can have a devastating impact on their emotional and physical health, as well as their family, caregivers and society. 

Reflecting on the experience of four neighbors in rural Rowan County who experienced falls, Roy Tapp will explore ways to reduce home falls, community-based resources, and safe methods to recover from falls.
