Maybe it was a loved one who fell and broke a bone, or a neighbor who fell and hit their head. Falls happen, but they are not a normal part of aging. Falls can be prevented. And Eskaton can help. We’d like to reach all 300,000 seniors in the Sacramento area before a fall occurs. Please help us spread the word. [Watch Sheri Peifer on Sac and Company talk about fall prevention.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW2y3kWgamE&feature=youtu.be) Exercise can be fun. Watch this Stand Tall Don't Fall music video to see what you can expect for a Fall Proof class. Call Therese ten Brinke at 916-334-0810 to sign up for your FREE Fall Prevention workshop.
