About this event
Occupational Therapy students from Thomas Jefferson University will provide a FREE fall risk screening – and also blood pressure, balance, and hand strength.
The screening will take about 20 minutes. VOR members may come any time between 2:00 and 3:30 pm. on Wed. Sept. 24. Members and the public are welcome. No need to register.
Falls can be very serious for older adults. They are the leading reason that people end up in nursing homes. Over 50% of falls result in an injury. Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the ER as a result of a fall. Every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. 14 million Americans (1 in 4 over 65) fall each year.
