Self Management Programs Approximately 80% of older adults have at least one chronic disease like diabetes or chronic pain, and roughly 70% have at least two chronic diseases. Learn techniques to increase your confidence and become a good self-manager. Falls Prevention Per the Center for Disease Control, an older American falls every second with falls being the leading cause of injury in adults aged 65 and older. Even if you have not experienced a fall yourself, learning of someone else’s traumatic fall experience can increase your fear of falling resulting in a decline in your own quality of life. Find out how you can decrease your fear of falling and therefore your risk of falling Health Programs Oasis offers health classes on a wide variety of topics to help increase your knowledge and skills to improve your overall health.
