Healthy Aging: Fall Prevention for Seniors & Caregiver Tips
Wednesday, January 28th, 1-3 pm
We’re delighted to welcome Erin Wakida, a physical therapist with over 30 years of experience in acute hospital care and ICU early mobility, for a special presentation to support safety at home for seniors with practical tips for caregivers. She will be joined by acute care PT colleagues: May Wong, who will offer insight on balance, strength and core stability; and Elle Lintera who specializes in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.
Together, they will cover essential topics, such as recognizing fall risks, making simple home modifications, practicing core strengthening exercises, and learning how family caregivers can support mobility without putting themselves at risk. Attendees will also receive practical tips on safe transfers, energy conservation, and communicating effectively with healthcare providers. RSVP to jill@j-sei.org with “PT” in the subject line.
