BANGOR — Many adult children returned home after the holidays with concerns about their aging parents' wellbeing. On February 3, FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers and Cornerstone Caregiving are hosting a free community workshop in Bangor to help families recognize early warning signs, fall-proof homes, and understand when additional support may be needed to maintain independence.

Why it matters

As people age, subtle changes in mobility, behavior, and home safety can signal increased risk of falls or other serious incidents. This workshop aims to empower families to proactively address these issues before a crisis occurs, allowing older adults to remain independent for longer.

The event is part of FYZICAL's ongoing community education series and will also feature information from Cornerstone Caregiving on in-home care services.

  • The free workshop will take place on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 from 5:30-6:30 p.m.
