Falls Prevention at Home – This service provides one to one fall prevention exercise in the persons own home for up to 12 weeks (currently Sandwell residents only). Having a fall is not an inevitable part of ageing. With the right knowledge and support, whether you are 65 or 95, there are a number of simple changes you can make to your lifestyle and home to help reduce your risk of falling and protect your independence. Agewell accepts referrals from professionals (including GP’s), relatives and neighbours who may be interested in either of these services. Agewell also offers a Staying Steady, Staying Safe guide for Sandwell residents offering, advice, tips and exercises. Please call us on 0121 796 9333 for more information.

About the organisation
The saying goes that 'giant oak trees from tiny acorns grow', and that's certainly the case with Agewell. In 1998, the organisation started life as the vision of a small group of older Sandwell residents. Now, the Agewell oak tree is over 10 years old, the roots are well established and its branches reach out to influence many areas affecting older people's quality of life - equality, housing, health, safety, transport and many more. It is a strategic voice for older people and is a well-respected organisation which is making a real and lasting impact on the lives of local people.
Sandwell Family Life website relies on providers of local support and services to add information about their activities and keep this information up to date.

In some circumstances, we might remove the information listed.
