2006 National Safe Communities Conference Information

STEADY AS YOU GO (SAYGO)
Too many seniors think, “Falls are just something that happen as you get older, and there is nothing I can do about it” but it’s not so.  Research points to over twenty risks that are linked to falls.  And most of these risks can be reduced.

“Steady as You Go” (SAYGO) is a falls prevention program for healthy, or transitional (Between health and frailty) seniors. 

Primary Objectives of the program are:

  1. To reduce the number of falls
  2. To reduce the risk factors for falls

Secondary Objectives are:

  1. To increase seniors’ daily physical activity
  2. To increase seniors’ socialization and support
