Falls Might Not Be a Priority for Patients
Less than half of older adults who fall talk to their doctor about falls.
Reasons include:
Belief that falls are a normal part of aging.
Fear that a fall may lead to loss of independence.
Not aware of common fall risk factors.

Anecdotal thoughts
1.A lot of calls we make say ‘I know what happened’, ‘it was an accident, it won’t
happen again’. Not willing to make any changes.
2.When we had to cancel one of our classes, one woman said, “I am 80 and
want to participate in these classes but I cannot get my friends to get up and
do things with me. I don’t know how you are going to get people to engage
when I cannot get my friends to leave their home.”
3.Our physical therapists are seeing much higher levels of need since the
pandemic.
4.I don’t want to make these changes because they make me feel old. In my
mind I am still young. How can we reframe this to the fact that utilizing some of
these tools in their toolbox can help continue doing the things they enjoy doing.
5.Our class numbers continue to stay low or we have people sign up and then
cancel once class gets closer.
6.Our classes tend to be those in their 80s. How can we start younger?
7.Get a lot of requests for learning how to fall correctly. Research shows fall risk
is lower if they are able to get up off the ground.
8.Teach to call 911 instead of laying on the ground, get checked out if hits head.

Additional Ideas
1.Change the narrative –how can we focus on starting falls prevention early.
•Ex: Yes, your mother may be falling but how can you also look at ways to make
behavior changes now to prevent your risk down the road.
•Slowing down, home safety assessment, learning how to fall
2.Connect classes/programs with insurance.
3.Looking at updates around the city with a falls prevention lens –how long
cross walks are, cracks in the side walks, lighting, stairs/rails.

FALLS PREVENTION
TIPS FOR SENIORS
22-CH-4746-ED
IF YOU FALL, DON’T PANIC.
Assess the situation to determine if you are hurt.
If you are hurt:
• Use your personal alarm (Lifeline
device or similar).
• Crawl or scoot to the phone.
• Call 911 immediately.
• Tell EMS if you are taking blood
thinners (Coumadin, Plavix,
aspirin, etc.).
If you are not hurt:
• Roll onto your side and get on your hands
and knees.
• Crawl to the nearest piece of sturdy furniture.
• Place your hands on the surface and your stronger foot flat on
the floor.
• Lean forward and push up onto your legs.
• Sit down and rest.
• Tell someone you fell.

FALLS ARE A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
In the United States, falls are the leading cause of
death and injuries in people 65 and older. Falls can
happen any time and any place to people of all ages,
but many falls can be prevented.
A fall can be a major life-changing event that can
take away your independence. You can reduce your
chances of falling by following some basic steps.
Making your home safer:
• Remove any throw rugs; they are a big reason people trip and fall
at home.
• Make sure you have enough light in hallways and stairways. Turn on
lights when you enter a room.
• Keep stairs and walkways free of clutter.
• Install handrails on both sides of the stairway.
• Use the handrails while going up and down stairs.
• Use night lights in bathrooms and hallways to assist you in the
middle of the night.
• Use brighter light bulbs to light your rooms.
• Frosted light bulbs can help reduce glare.
• Place a non-slip mat in the bathtub and shower.
• Install grab bars in the shower or tub and by the toilet.
• Do not grab towel bars or toilet paper holders as they are not
secured well enough to the wall.
• Move commonly used items to lower shelves or purchase a
reaching tool to make it easier.
• Rearrange furniture to allow for more open space.
• Before getting out of bed, sit on the edge and secure your footing
to make sure you are not dizzy.
• Avoid wearing high heels or thick-soled shoes.
• Wear shoes with non-skid soles and keep them snug by keeping
laces tied.
• Put on your glasses, not bifocals.
Mind your medicine.
Have a provider or pharmacist review all of your medicines, including
nonprescription drugs (cold medicines, vitamins, herbal medicines,
glucosamine, etc.). Some combinations of medicines can cause dizziness
or make you drowsy, which can increase your chances of falling.
Talk to your health care provider.
Keep a journal of any symptoms or problems you have as they occur.
Be sure to include the date. Take the journal to your appointments
and record all remarks and recommendations. Visit your doctor
every year, including your eye doctor. Poor vision can increase your
chances of falling.
Exercise:
Exercise is one of the most important things you can do to reduce
your risk of falling. Focus on exercises that improve your balance and
coordination. Some examples include:
• Exercise classes.
• Tai chi.
• Yoga.
• Water exercises—This no impact way of exercising is great for those
with joint problems.
Don’t rush. Take your time.
Remember to talk to your doctor before beginning an exercise
program and start slowly.
Drink responsibly.
Our bodies process alcohol differently as we get
older. Keep in mind there are numerous
medicines that do not react well with
alcohol. Talk to your provider.
Use walking aids correctly.
If you need a walking aid, have it
fitted by a therapist. Use the aid
as directed.
Safe Mobility and
Fall Prevention
Programs and resources to maintain
your independence
Research shows that participating in regular physical
activity, reviewing medications with your provider
and improving the safety of your home have the
highest rates of reducing your risk of falling.

Annual Report
City of Fort Collins
Senior Advisory Board (SAB)
2023 Annual Report
Consistent with our Mission, the Senior Advisory Board (SAB) assumed
responsibility to serve as advisors to City Council on programs and policies that
help older residents live full and interesting lives, continuing to contribute and
participate in our vibrant community. The Board is involved in a network of various
agencies and organizations for older adults so that we may remain aware of issues,
needs and occurrences that may be relevant to SAB’s work for City Council.
Our primary focus was to provide education to our community about the aging
process, to advocate for a good quality of life and to encourage networking among
the various groups that deal with issues impacting older residents.
Our focus throughout the year was to be informed, as well as to update Council and
our city’s seniors regarding issues pertaining to their health, well-being, safety and
neighborhood livability.
In 2023 the Senior Advisory Board on balance achieved goals for our 2023 Work
Plan as indicated below.
1. EDUCATION
In 2023 the SAB hosted 17 speakers addressing matters of Neighborhood Livability,
Transportation, Safety and related well-being issues for older adults. Speakers focused on
the following topics with public participation and subsequent SAB deliberations:
a. Beth Jaeger - Fort Collins Human Relations commission on the FOCO
Human Library program.
b. Heidi O’Mara & Megan DeMasters – Senior Specialist Environmental
Sustainability Services spoke on progress made with the EJEPA grant.
c. Teresa Roche – City of Fort Collins Human Resources Executive spoke

spoke on the CSU Gerontology Club.
f. Rachel Washburn, President CSU Gerontology Club and Club Officers
presented on what the CSU Gerontology Club has been up to.
g. Denny Moyer, CEO, Melody Bettenhausen, COO and Amy Heath spoke
regarding EnSight.
h. Cory Schmidt Mobility Director North Front Range Metropolitan Planning
Organization (NFRMPO) and Brooke spoke on the progress of Ride NOCO
in management of transportation for seniors in Northern Colorado.
i. Tony J. Van Goor, MD, County Board of Health addressed health issues
relating to seniors.
j. Ginny Sawyer, Project Manager with City Manager’s Office discussed
November Ballot issues.
k. Senator Joann Ginal gave a comprehensive overview of the bills and
legislation she has been focusing on regarding older adults.
l. John Singleton, Chair of Affordable Housing Board, gave an overview of
board responsibilities and discussed collaborative opportunities.
m. Hanna Brown, Executive Director for Sound Affects Music (SAM) shared
information regarding the organization.
2. OUTREACH
SAB coordinated its work with a network of City, Community, County, and State
departments, agencies and organizations boards, committees and so forth, including:
o Larimer County Office on Aging
o Colorado Center for Aging
o Colorado Commission on Aging
o Colorado State University Undergraduate Gerontology Club
o PAFC Steering Committee and Priority Groups for Housing, Health and
Wellness, Transportation and Culture of Aging
o Fort Collins Housing Catalyst and Affordable Housing Board
o Fort Collins Transportation Board and Bicycle Advisory Committee
o Fort Collins Parks and Recreation
o Fort Collins Senior Center
o CSU Intergenerational Conversations Project
o CSU/Columbine Center for Healthy Aging
o Professionals for Seniors
o Senior Access Points
3. Advocacy
o SAB provided the Mayor, Council and City Management with
communications throughout the year including recommendations re:
o Boards & Commissions attended the Live Involved event and promoted the
Senior Advisory Board.
o Created an Affordable Housing one-page documents for board members to
utilize as a resource.
o Created a handout with board information to share with the public.
o Submitted a letter regarding the continued support of of Fare Free Transit
programming in November of 2023.
It is important that older adults are considered in decisions made by Council
regarding the community. The ‘norms’ for the older generation are changing (as
family dynamics change), older adults become an increasingly greater segment of
the workforce as retirement years last longer. Older people contribute to the City’s
economy and in coming years will represent 20% of Colorado’s population.
The SAB recognizes the important elements of our work and we will inform Council so that
the City of Fort Collins remains a healthy, vibrant community for people of all ages with
active members from the entire population.
SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD:
What does an advisory board do:
These boards make recommendations to the City Council and City staff on areas of
particular knowledge or expertise. Recommendations made by advisory boards are
formal opinions to the City Council on items and subjects that are on the boards'
approved workplans. These recommendations are limited to advisement and are not
decisive actions.
UPCOMING EVENTS & OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
a. Super Issues Meetings
i. In 2015, City Council created a process for engaging boards and
commissions in discussion of broader policy issues and matters not
specifically identified in the stated function of each board or
commission. These meetings have been dubbed "super issue"
meetings, providing an opportunity for boards and commissions to
come together to learn about and discuss key topics or issues.
All members of boards and commissions are invited to attend
super issue meetings. No formal action is taken at these meetings.
It is possible that three or members of any particular board or
commission may be in attendance at these meetings. Meetings are
open to the general public; however, the public in invited to observe
but not participate.
ii. The Lincoln Center is booked for the following 2024 Super Issues
Meetings.
1. Monday, March 25th (Columbine Room)
2. Monday, June 10th (Founder's Room)
3. Monday, September 9th (Founder's Room)
March 25th will be dedicated for boards and commissions to learn about each other.
The current thought for the meeting is to have different board members at tables and
people can move between tables to learn about other boards. Let me know if you are
able to attend the March 25th meeting. Times are TBD.
b. New Member Training
i. In-person training for new board and commission members is set to
take place in Council Chambers on April 8th and April 22nd. More
details will be shared as the date approaches but this is also an
opportunity for returning members to attend and learn updates
regarding the Code of Conduct and the Anti-Discrimination and
Anti-Harassment Policy. A virtual option will also be available for
these updates if someone cannot attend in person.
