Masonicare's Lunch & Learn at Meriden Public Library Oct. 2 to Feature "Safety in the Home" - 9/17/2008

Wallingford, CT, September 16, 2008,... There are several factors than can contribute to accidents happening in the home, and statistics show that with increasing age, the number of accidents, falls and fall-related injuries rise markedly.  One third of individuals 65 and over will fall one or more times a year, and with each fall, the risk increases, along with the risk of sustaining a serious injury. 

On Thursday, October 2, at 11:30 a.m. at the Meriden Public Library, Susan Jennings, RPT, Rehab Supervisor for Masonicare's Connecticut VNA, will present a program entitled, "Safety in the Home."  Ms. Jennings will discuss how easily accidents can happen and offer important tips and recommendations on how to avoid accidents and injuries in the home.  A complimentary light lunch will be served.   

Lunch + Learn programs are provided for seniors and their caregivers as a public service by Masonicare, Connecticut's leading not-for-profit provider of senior healthcare and retirement living. The program will take place at the Meriden Public Library, 105 Miller Street. The program is free, but people are asked to make a reservation by calling 203-630-6349 by Tuesday, September 30.
