Elderly Mobility

Age-related changes in mobility can significantly impact an elder’s quality of life. Experienced caregivers offer their best tips and ideas for activities for seniors with limited mobility.

The wrong mobility aid can negatively affect a senior’s stability, cause posture problems and even result in pain. These devices come in all shapes and sizes, so selecting the right one and achieving a proper fit requires a professional’s expertise.

Fresh air and a change in a senior’s surroundings can do more than help diminish boredom and complacency. People who spend a few minutes outside daily are less likely to have health problems and more likely to remain active.

One in four Americans aged 65 and older falls each year. Sadly, even one tumble can have serious physical, psychological and functional consequences for older adults.
