Walkers, canes, and raised toilet seats aren’t just aids, they’re lifelines that promote independence. If your loved one has trouble with balance, talk to their healthcare provider about which device is right for them. Ensure the equipment is properly fitted and maintained, as poorly adjusted devices can actually increase fall risk. Teaching your loved one how to use these tools safely will help them feel more secure while moving around their home and community.
