Freedom Inn of Tarpon Springs to Host Fall Prevention Course

In one year in Pinellas County, more than 14,000 calls were placed to 911 due to falls. In recognition of the growing need to educate families on this issue, a local family-owned home health agency, Harmony Home Health, has partnered with a team of medical and home safety professionals to co-host a unique educational event at Freedom Inn of Tarpon Springs on February 7th from 2:00-5:00 p.m. entitled "Show Your Love with Fall Prevention Education." 

The interactive event will address a variety of ways to identify fall risks for each individual and implement concrete solutions for minimizing the chance of falls.

All participants in the event are dedicated to the mission of the Pasco-Pinellas Fall Prevention Coalition, a grass roots group comprised of agencies, government representatives and businesses that serve seniors and are dedicated to finding ways to prevent falls among older adults. 

The goal of this community service event is to help seniors maintain the independent lifestyle that they enjoy most.  This event will include FREE vision screenings, blood pressure checks, balance/exercise demonstrations, Q&A with pharmacists, physical therapists, nurses, dementia experts, and exposure to a variety of home safety products, equipment and services that the public can walk away with in prizes totaling over $2,000. 

Respected speakers from Florida Hospital, Harmony Home Health, Trinity Regional Rehab Center and Healthy Vision Institute will be on hand as well.

The venue is handicap-accessible and will have complimentary valet parking on site. Refreshments provided. To RSVP, call Freedom Inn at 727-934-1000 or Harmony Home Health at 727-723-7532.
