In Chariton, Iowa, Wellness & Safety is dedicated to empowering seniors and family caregivers by providing essential resources and services that promote independence and self-sufficiency. Our programs, including Better Choices Better Health and A Matter of Balance, are designed to support adults in managing chronic diseases, enhancing their physical well-being, and maintaining an active lifestyle. Through community workshops led by trained leaders who often share similar health challenges, we foster an environment of mutual support, helping participants learn vital skills such as effective communication with healthcare professionals, healthy eating habits, and strategies to combat isolation and fatigue. Our A Matter of Balance program specifically addresses the fear of falling, equipping seniors with practical tactics to enhance their strength and balance while encouraging an active lifestyle. Most classes are offered free of charge, with donations graciously accepted to cover materials. We warmly invite you to discover our upcoming classes or schedule a group session to enhance your wellness journey.
