- Many older adults have a fear of falling. People who develop this fear often limit their activities, which can result in physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater. The Person County Senior Center and Extension Office are joining forces in May and June to offer the “Matter of Balance” 8-week series. The program will be held Monday May 5 – June 30 (skipping Memorial Day) from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Space is limited to 15 participants. Sign upstarts NOW! If you would like to register, please call the senior center at (336)599-7484. Participants will learn to view falls as controllable, set goals for increasing activity, identify common factors that contribute to falls, make changes to reduce their fall risk at home and exercises to increase strength and balance. Don’t miss out – join us! .
