Fall Prevention

Many people think, “It won’t happen to me.” But the truth is that 1 in 4 older adults fall every year in the U.S. - explore our resources to find out how to reduce your risk.

Nutrition

As we age, our metabolism will slow down, which means we need fewer calories than earlier in life. At the same time, however, nutrient needs will stay the same or even increase.   Eating healthy is even more important than ever before!  Check out the healthy eating tips and community resources on the nutrition page.
