RCCA sets Stepping On class

The Rock County Council on Aging is offering a falls prevention workshop called Stepping On beginning April 11 in Milton and May 2 in Janesville. Stepping On meets two hours a week for seven weeks and includes local guest experts that provide information on excercise, vision, safety, medications and more.

Ninety percent of fall-related deaths and 70 percent of fall-related hospital stays involve people age 65 and older. The Stepping On workshops are offered to people age 60 and older who live independently in their own home or apartment. Cost to attend the workshop is $10.

Sessions will run in Milton from 10 a.m.-noon on Fridays, April 11 to May 23, at the Gathering Place, 715 Campus St. In Janesville they will be 10 a.m.-noon on Fridays, May 2 to June 20, at St. Marys Janesville Hospital, 3400 E. Racine St. Later sessions will begin in Evansville in July and Beloit in September.
