Malibu Senior Center hosts National Fall Prevention Awareness Week activities

Starting today, the Malibu Senior Center has a full week of educational and entertaining activities through Sept. 26 to celebrate National Fall Prevention Awareness Week.

National Fall Prevention Awareness Week is Sept. 22-26. Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of injury deaths, unintentional injuries, and hospital admissions for trauma. Health care costs for falls and rehabilitation average $70 billion a year.

During Fall Prevention Awareness Week, the Senior Center will have presentations and workshops for older adults, families, caregivers, and the general public.

The Prescription Drug Drop-Off Program will be available throughout the week from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Malibu Senior Center. Seniors can drop off your unused or expired prescription drugs to be safely disposed of. Needles not accepted.

Free Blood Pressure Checks will be available all week from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Seniors can drop by the Center to get their blood pressure taken with the new blood pressure monitor.

Free Presentation: Strengthening Exercises to Reduce Your Fall Risk, will be on Monday, September 22, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., in the Zuma Room. Independent Physical Therapy will share specific exercises to improve strength and balance in order to help prevent falls.

Special Screening and Discussion: The Falling Monologues will be held on Thursday, Sept. 25, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. This is a special viewing of a series of stories reflecting the thoughts, emotions and lessons learned by some older adults after they’ve fallen. Discussions will be facilitated after each monologue.

Free handouts on fall prevention will also be available at the Malibu Senior Center all week.

Programs will be at the Malibu Senior Center, located at 23825 Stuart Ranch Road, Malibu. For more information call the Malibu Senior Center at 310- 456-2489 ext. 357.
