| Participants learned many valuable techniques to prevent falls at our recent onsite class. |
|
Special Classes
Our recently held class "Matter of Balance" helped participants view falls and fear of falling as controllable. The class also helped them to set realistic goals for increasing activity, provided ideas on how to change their environment to reduce fall risk factors and promoted exercise to increase strength and balance. This was
co-taught by Valley View Village Home Care Coordinator Lois Lombard, along with coaches Margaret DeSio and Sherry Knox from the Polk County Health Department.

Socials
Our Popcorn Socials are a "pop"ular event at Valley View Village! Our residents gather together to share some delicious fresh popped popcorn and to visit and socialize together. There's nothing that smells quite as good as fresh popped popcorn!

Our monthly lunch outings are always a big hit!

Our annual picnic at Thomas Mitchell park was a little chilly, but full of warm friendships and good food!
