March 16 - Integrating Home Modification into Falls Prevention Efforts: An Opportunity to Explore Strategies for Change

Join this open forum for ACL falls prevention grantees to learn about home safety and home modification! Staff from the Fall Prevention Center of Excellence (FPCE) at the University of Southern California, Leonard Davis School of Gerontology are “in the office” to answer your questions and help you consider strategies to reduce your program participants’ fall risks in their home through home modifications. There are many opportunities for your program to connect participants to home safety and home modification services and information. Hear examples of strategies that could easily integrate home modifications into your falls prevention efforts – both from FPCE staff and your peers! Topics may include partnership-building, funding sources, educational resources, and any other related topics that are on your mind. Bring your own questions, and learn from other grantees’ questions as well. Come away with methods to build or expand capacity for home safety/modification services that will augment your evidence-based programs.
