will present "Minimizing the Risk of Falls in the Home by
Implementing Simple Changes." Lunch will be provided, and
preregistration is required. There is no charge to attend.

that will help caregivers continue to provide quality care to others
while maintaining balance in their own lives.

is to some degree incapacitated and in need of help with tasks such
as grocery shopping, bill paying, cooking or personal care.
Grandparents or other relatives raising grandchildren are those who
have accepted primary responsibility for raising one or more
children through age 18.
