Staying Physically Active

One of the best ways older adults can help maintain and enhance their well-being and independence is through a lifestyle that embraces physical activity. Please click on the following link for information and resources to help you stay active.



However, it's important to keep in mind that older adults at higher risk for falls may benefit more from participating in a specific type of physical activity program which focuses on improving mobility, balance and coordination to help prevent falls.

Clinical Practice Guidelines for Fall Prevention

​

All adults 65 years and older should be screened at least once a year to help identify and manage their fall risk factors. As a member of the collaborative fall prevention team, primary care providers play an essential role in ensuring that this occurs based on best available evidence for clinical practice.

Therefore, you are encouraged to consult the updated Algorithm for Fall Risk Screening, Assessment and Intervention which outlines the latest recommended clinical practice guidelines for fall prevention. For more information, click on the following link.
