What Makes a Program "Evidence Based"?

These programs are:

  • Developed by experts

  • Tested through scientific research

  • Proven to deliver measurable benefits

  • Delivered by trained, certified instructors

When older adults follow the program as designed, they can feel confident that the time and effort invested will lead to meaningful, lasting results.

Why This Matters for Our Community

Mary Louise Wallace’s vision was to provide more than a gathering space—she wanted every older adult in Greenwich to have access to life-enhancing opportunities. Her generosity allows the Wallace Center to offer programs backed by research, delivered with care and focused on helping individuals remain independent, fulfilled and connected.

Fall Risk Balance Assessment Program

The Wallace Center partnered with Sacred Heart University’s Physical Therapy program to offer individualized, research-backed balance assessments for older adults. Participants received a personalized evaluation of their balance, mobility and fall risk using standardized evidence-based measures. Each attendee left with tailored recommendations to improve safety, stability and confidence in daily movement—supporting independence and fall prevention.

Bingocize®

Bingocize® is a 10-week, evidence-based program that combines gentle exercise and health education with the fun and familiarity of Bingo. Held twice a week for 45–60 minutes, it helps older adults stay active, improve wellness and socialize through engaging sessions focused on topics like nutrition, fall prevention, mobility and overall health.
