Education Programs

We understand your health needs and can assist you in aging well.

Programs focused on your needs.

While we provide highly skilled health care services to people in their homes and at Hospice House, an important part of our mission is community wellness.

We offer a comprehensive array of programs on topics such as aging, healthy lifestyles, advance care planning, grief and bereavement, caregiving, and more throughout the communities we serve.

How we can help

Our experienced team partners with community members to help them meet their goals. There is no fee to attend the programs listed below.

  • Healthy Steps for Older Adults

    Healthy Steps for Older Adults is an evidence-based fall prevention program for adults ages 60 and over. Through activities, assessments and discussions, participants learn tools and tips on how to reduce falls, one of the leading causes of the loss of independence and hospitalizations.

    This comprehensive two-hour, two session program focuses on managing fall risk and staying healthy, active, and independent.

    Developed by the Pennsylvania Department of Aging in 2005, Healthy Steps has been shown to decrease the incidence of falls, frequency of self-reported hospital and emergency department use, and costs associated with hospital and ED use.
