Falls among seniors can be attributed to a many factors, including health problems and living environment,” says Rhonda Zonoozi, exercise physiologist and certified health and wellness coach at
the Sun Health Center for Health & Wellbeing. Medical issues such as arthritis, heart disease, muscle weakness, dementia, vision changes and certain medications can increase the chance of
falling. Around the home, things such as slippery throw rugs and poor lighting can cause falls as well.
Sun Health’s Center for Health & Wellbeing held an inaugural National Falls Prevention Awareness Day campaign in September of 2015. This event included special speakers, personalized fall risk assessments, community outreach, and much more.
