An 8-session group workshop for older adults who are concerned about falling. Participants learn to view falls as controllable, set realistic goals, and make changes to reduce fall risk. Run by trained coaches in community centers and senior centers nationwide.
A proven 7-week community workshop where small groups of older adults learn strategies to prevent falls, including exercises, home safety, and medication management. Evidence shows it can cut falls by up to 31%. Facilitated by trained community health workers.
A simplified, research-backed form of Tai Chi designed specifically for fall prevention in older adults. Classes focus on slow, deliberate movements that improve leg strength, balance, and coordination. No martial arts experience required.
An ongoing group exercise class for older adults that improves strength, flexibility, balance, and aerobic endurance. Classes run three times a week at community centers, senior centers, and health clubs. Participants can join at any time — no set start date.
A series of leg strengthening and balance exercises taught one-on-one by a physical therapist in your parent's home, then continued independently three times a week. Especially effective for older adults who've already had a fall or who have difficulty leaving the house.
Designed for older adults with lower-extremity osteoarthritis, Fit & Strong! combines flexibility, strengthening, and aerobic walking with self-management education. It helps reduce joint pain and improve confidence to stay active — a meaningful benefit for fall prevention.
The same proven 8-session A Matter of Balance curriculum, delivered online via video call. Designed for older adults who can't easily leave home — rural residents, those with mobility limitations, or family caregivers managing a senior's care remotely. No travel required.
A structured fall risk screening developed by the CDC and delivered by your parent's primary care physician or a clinical team. Uses three simple tests — including the Timed Up and Go test — to assess balance, strength, and gait. The starting point before choosing any exercise program.
Evidence-based Tai Chi classes delivered live via video for older adults who prefer to exercise at home or live in areas without local classes. Classes are gentle, instructor-led, and specifically adapted for balance and fall prevention. A chair is available for support throughout.
An occupational therapist visits your parent's home to identify trip hazards and recommend simple modifications — grab bars, better lighting, rug removal, and bathroom safety equipment. Many Area Agencies on Aging offer this service free or low-cost. A critical first step for families managing risk at home.
