There are 3 levels of exercise to enable participants to continue HSIM for as long as they like. Participants receive a guide with the exercises and resource information. HSIM strives to reduce the risk of falling by building body strength, increasing flexibility and improving balance.HEALTHY STEPS FOR OLDER ADULTS: An evidence-based program, Healthy Steps for Older Adults reduces fall risks among older adults by raising awareness about the causes of falls and how to prevent them. Participants will learn how to exercise safely at home and be offered information on ways to improve their health and well-being.

LIVING WELL WITH DIABETES: This program is a structured, evidence-based program for older adults living with pre-diabetes or diabetes, which provides tools to manage diabetes and emotions that come with the disease.MATTER OF BALANCE: This is a program designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults. Because many people experience a fear of falling, they often limit their activities, which can result in physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater. This program will help achieve and overcome that fear.
