MANSFIELD — The Mansfield Senior Center and the Mansfield Fire Department have collaborated on the production of a fall prevention video to inform community members.
On Wednesday at 4 p.m., the Mansfield Senior Center will premier the informational but fun video that stars local Mansfield Senior Center members.
This event is open to the community in hopes of bringing more awareness to this important issue.
Those interested in attending are asked to call the Mansfield Senior Center at 860-429-0292 to pre-register.
The Centers for Disease Control says falls are a major risk for older Americans and are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries for people 65 and older. However, the good news is that fall-related injuries are usually preventable by taking some easy steps. This fall prevention video will inform seniors, caregivers and their families about easy, affordable and manageable ways to prevent falls.
