Bingocize® is a 10-week, evidence-based health promotion program approved through both SNAP-Ed and The National Council on Aging (NCOA). Bingocize® combines exercise and health information with the familiar game of bingo, which is a great and fun way to get seniors moving and socializing.
The goals of the program were to help older adults:
The Powell County Family and Consumer Sciences Agent partnered with a local housing authority and senior citizens center to facilitate Bingocize to target Fall Prevention. Each of the groups met twice per week for 45 minutes for 10 consecutive weeks.
After completing the program participants reported
75% of the participants reported making safety modifications in their home, such as installing grab bars or securing loose rugs to reduce the risk of falls.
One participant reported that the exercises she learned in Bingocize helped her to walk up and down the stairs in her home without any issues.
