One Fall Can Change it All

Drop in the Bucket podcast is all about aging on your terms. We cover all of the things on your

bucketlist and the things that have dropped into your bucket.

Mike Bearce, a retired executive director of a falls practice, was the guest on this episode of A Drop in the Bucket. Even after retirement, Mike Bearce continues to do educational seminars forsenior groups throughout the Chicagoland area, and we're proud to have Mike today.

Throughout the conversation, we talk about fall prevention, why the risk rises with age, and practical things to do to protect yourself and loved ones as the risk fact grows.
