10 Million Steps to Prevent Falls
The Ohio Department of Aging (AGE) is proud to bring back 10 Million Steps to Prevent Falls in September 2025. The annual campaign encourages Ohioans of all ages to walk at least one mile during the month of September. Staying active as we age encourages healthy living and access to Ohio’s communities.
“We look forward to September every year as a way to remind Ohio about the importance of older adult falls prevention,” said AGE Director Ursel J. McElroy. “Approximately one out of every three Ohioans will experience a fall this year, and we want to ensure that the older adults in our lives are aware of this risk. Part of our vision of making Ohio the best place to age in the nation includes educating every Ohioan on how to decrease the chances that they have a fall.”
Most seniors never get enough exercise. In His wisdom God decreed that seniors become forgetful so they would have to search for their glasses, keys, and other things, thus doing more walking. And God looked down and saw that it was good. Then God saw there was another need. In His wisdom He made seniors lose coordination so they would drop things, requiring them to bend, reach, and stretch. And God looked down and saw that it was good. Then God considered the function of bladders and decided seniors would have additional calls of nature, requiring more trips to the bathroom, thus providing more exercise. God looked down and saw that it was good.
So if you find, as you age, you are getting up and down more, remember it's God's will. It is all in your best interest even though you mutter under your breath. See the Nine Important Facts to Remember as We Grow Older

Free smoke detectors installed in Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties
A survey conducted for the Red Cross, shows that people mistakenly believe they have more time than they really do to escape a burning home. Fire experts agree that people may have as little as two minutes to escape a burning home before it’s too late to get out. But most Americans (62 percent) mistakenly believe they have at least five minutes to escape, more than twice the amount they actually have. Nearly 18 percent mistakenly believe they have ten minutes or more to get out.
Across the country, the Red Cross is partnering with local fire departments and community groups to install smoke alarms in neighborhoods with high numbers of home fires. The goal is to reduce deaths and injuries from home fires by as much as 25 percent over the next five years. Smoke alarm installations are available for homes in Cuyahoga, Lake Geauga and Ashtabula counties. More Information.
You can also call 216-361-5535 to request a smoke alarm installation. Leave a message and clearly state your first and last name, full address and phone number. Please note the Red Cross does not provide carbon monoxide (CO) detectors.
