Stepping On
Stepping On is a 7-week program designed for people who are living at home and have experienced a fall or are concerned about falling.
It is an evidence-based program that is effective and proven to reduce falls in older people who are living independently in their community. Stepping On incorporates strategies to implement positive lifestyle changes to keep you independent, upright and active.
Program benefits include:
- Reduce falls and increase self-confidence
- Learn simple and fun balance exercises
- Eliminate fall hazards from your home
- Learn strategies for increasing strength
Is there a fee?
The cost for A.C.E. of SW Minnesota to offer Stepping On classes is based on individual voluntary contributions and donations. No one will be denied services because of their inability or unwillingness to contribute towards this service.
Because this service is made possible, in part, under the Federal Older Americans Act through a grant award from the Minnesota River Area Agency on Aging (MNRAAA) under an Area Plan approved by the Minnesota Board on Aging, certain guidelines must be strictly adhered to. Cost sharing is one of those guidelines. A.C.E. of Southwest Minnesota has a fully established and implemented Cost Share Policy/Statement of Value Process for Title III program participants with coordinating sliding scales.
