About our Falls Prevention Program

Due to the pandemic, our Falls Prevention classes were put on hold, and we are looking forward to re-starting Falls Prevention programming in Spring/Summer 2023. Classes will be offered free of charge to eligible participants. We will provide additional information when it becomes available.

About our Group Exercise Classes

Circle of Care provides free group exercise classes to older adults living in the community, and classes are led by trained fitness professionals.  Our exercise classes are designed to help participants increase mobility, relieve pain and reduce the risk of falls by building strength and improving balance. Classes are funded by the Central Home and Community Care Support Services (HCCSS), and are offered to eligible participants free of charge.
