Strawberries, blueberries and/or raspberries can easily be added or substituted for the blackberries.
Fall Prevention Awareness Day
September 23 is Fall Prevention Awareness Day. Many of us know someone who has fallen – maybe you have taken a fall yourself. It can be unsettling and unfortunately, falls can lead us down a road that we are not prepared for.

Different things can be done to help guard against a potential fall and help adults feel more confident, including changes around the home, use of assistive devices and fall prevention classes.
