Grass Valley, CA (5/21/26) — Seniors in the community are invited to participate in “Strong & Steady,” a free five-week balance and falls prevention course designed to help older adults improve strength, confidence, and mobility while reducing the risk of falls.
The course will be held on Tuesdays from June 9th through July 7th at Eskaton Village in Grass Valley. Participants may choose between two class times: 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. or 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.
