Providing a Path to Prevent Falls

Congratulations! You have taken the first step to reduce the risk of serious injury from a fall! By providing education and physical activities, The Center can help you lead a more productive and independent way of life. To raise awareness and to help decrease the risk factors associated with falls and fall-related injuries, The Center is proud to offer its members new programs to encourage older adults to increase their activity levels through physical fitness, enrichment and educational programs along with social activities.

Our Mission

To improve the lives of older adults by reducing or eliminating falls through education and exercise, empower seniors to live longer, healthier and independent lives.

Our Purpose

To make an impact on this hidden epidemic that debilitates so many of our communities older adults and threatens their independence. With as many as 60% suffering from some type of fall that can result in serious injury that threatens the quality of life, The Council Bluffs Senior Center has already implemented programs to address these concerns and needs.

Assesments and Incentive Programs

Balance Assessments are available to all new and existing members of The Center. This is a great tool to use to monitory improvements made through classes, programs or strength training.

The Fall Prevention Incentive program consists of classes that directly assist individuals with balance improvement. Participants are encouraged to attend 24 of these classes in a three month time span. When they have completed this task they receive a certificate, free t-shirt and a follow up balance assessment showing the improvements they have made.
