Falls Prevention Awareness Week

Did you know falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults? One in four older adults report experiencing a fall each year.

This month, WellMed Charitable Foundation senior activity centers are spotlighting simple ways to stay safe and steady during Falls Prevention Awareness Week, Sept. 22–26, 2025.

Centers across Texas and Florida will offer activities and home safety tips to help older adults maintain balance and confidence. Classes such as Torso Strength, Balance Workout, Myths and Realities on Falls, and Fall Prevention Bingo are available to adults ages 60 and older in participating communities.
