Today I attended the

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF OLDER PEOPLE

“‘Injury Prevention in and around the Home'”

at the

TE AHU COMMUNITY CENTRE in KAITAIA.

Lots of stalls inside the hall and  one outside the hall: NORTHABLE

“NorthAble is Northland’s primary Disability Resource Centre and has been serving local communities for more than 21 years.”

I learned also how to “TAKE ACTION AND FIGHT THE 5 HOME HAZARDS.”

1. Chairs aren’t ladders!

2. Fasten rugs & mats!

3. Secure power cords!

4. Wipe up spills!

5. Remove moss from paths!
