The work on the Game Refuge Headquarters continues! The site work team has poured the final cement piers around the building to support the front, side, and back porches. Earlier this week, they poured the slab on the north side. Next up will be back-filling around all the cement work to close up the area and the installation of the septic system.

The new HQ will provide more space for research and artifact storage, let us expand conservation efforts, and allow more accessibility to nature for those with mobility challenges. Visit www.McLeanCare.org/game-refuge/ for more information about the Game Refuge.

It’s Falls Prevention Awareness Week, and at McLean we understand that as people age, it is common to feel unsteady or start to have a fear of falling. The good news is, there are many ways to improve balance and strength to help decrease the risk of falls. Here are a few tips from Jenny Braddock, director of rehabilitation at McLean:

• Exercise regularly. If you were referred physical therapist to prevent falls, do your exercises as recommended by the physical therapist.
• Join a gym that specializes in seniors – like McLean’s Boundless Wellness program. And don’t forget to bring a friend! Trying something new can be intimidating, but with a friend, you will have more fun and you’ll be able to motivate each other.
• Don’t forget online options. Many physical activity programs are now available online, in case you can’t get out in the inclement weather.
