Fall Prevention Workshop with the Manatee County Falls Prevention Coalition

Most senior citizens who need emergency medical care have fallen and suffered a serious injury. This interactive workshop will present important information about how falls can be prevented and offer ways to improve balance and strength. Mini-screenings using a Biodex mobility testing device will be conducted.

Event organizers:
• Erin Lumina, Director of Therapy Services at Freedom Village
• Deb Carlson, Home Health Coordinator for HCA Florida Healthcare at Home
• Allie Hanson, Senior Care Advisor at My Care Finders, former Sales Manager for Assisted Living and Memory Care at Freedom Village

We will be hosting a luncheon from 11:30 to 1 p.m. in the Tuscany Dining Room, followed by the workshop from 1 to 2 p.m. in Landings Auditorium.
