You are a consultant at a senior living complex. Tanya is a 68-year-old resident there. She lives independently, doing most tasks herself except for outdoor ones such as cutting the grass and snow shoveling. Tanya walks independently around the building with no walking aids and she drives her car short distances. Tanya has had a couple of falls in the last 2 months in her apartment. The home care liaison at the seniors’ complex is concerned about Tanya’s falls – they are the first falls she has had. Tanya and the home care liaison want to prevent future falls and the home care liaison asks you to see Tanya. You decide to set her up with an exercise program that includes strength and balance exercises.
