As our loved ones age, we may be called upon to assist them as they travel along the road of life. There are as many routes to the objective (safety and sanity) as there are families taking the journey. Just as you plan a trip, I hope to help you identify issues as you plan your path through your relative’s older years.

Safety on Your Feet
As we get older, our sense of balance can diminish. Our ability to catch ourselves if we start to fall also declines. In order to prevent a fall, we need to be sure that we are wearing the proper footwear. I am seeing some really attractive and cute slippers being offered in the catalogs we get this time of the year. If you intend to order these, take the time to check the soles. If they do not indicate that they are slip resistant, don't buy them. If you have them in hand, return them.
