There is an excellent Canadian resource which can provide just the type of information you are looking for. This information has been compiled by the BC Institute of Technology. The home page link is http://www.bcit.ca/appliedresearch/mobility/seniors.shtml Here you will find comprehensive information for both seniors and families that can be easily downloaded and printed. This information includes tips to help determine if your parent has mobility issues, ideas for initiating these ‘tough conversations’ with a resistant parent, and encouraging them to consider using a mobility device, as well as practical information on canes, walkers, and scooters. There is also information on other assistive devices, such as grips, that can help prevent falls in the home. We hope this information will bring about the results you are looking for! Sincerely, Boomertoboomeronline.ca Thank you for contacting boomertoboomeronline.ca.

He still lives on his own and seems to manage. But I think he is having some slight problems with his balance. He’s a little less steady on his feet recently. This really scares me as I am so afraid he is going to have a fall. My father sees himself is very self-sufficient. I’ve mentioned a cane to him and he thought that was a crazy idea, that I was over-reacting. I can’t imagine what would happen if I mentioned a walker! Have you any ideas on how I can deal with this?
