The final event in our four-part Housing Solutions series examines in-home fall prevention. This event is online via Zoom.
Fall-related injury is one of the most common events that make aging in place difficult. In equal measure, it is one of the most preventable. Causes of falls go beyond tripping hazards and poor balance. Approach fall risk with a sense of empowerment, knowing you can do a lot to reduce it. Learn what the risk factors are and what actions you can take to address each one.
Chris Burba, OTR/L, CAPS was recommended to us by SHTETL 2.0 member Naomi Klayman, with whom he planned home modifications to allow her to age in place with ease. He is a Mayo Clinic-trained Health & Wellness Coach and Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) through the National Association of Homebuilders. The Founder of Integrative Aging in Place, Burba dedicates his career to helping older adults extend their healthspans and create living spaces that enhance function, safety, and joy. He partnered with Mark Greenberg to form Boast Home Management, expanding services beyond advising on aging-in-place home modifications to managing projects from start to finish.
Please note: Zoom link will be sent to registered participants the morning of the event.
