Staying mobile is important for independence and a good quality of life. Our caregivers provide one-on-one walking support to help clients move safely at home and in the community. We assist with mobility aids like canes, walkers, and wheelchairs, and encourage light physical activity to build strength and improve balance.
With training to prevent falls, our caregivers ensure clients feel safe and confident while walking. This support not only improves physical health but also helps seniors enjoy outdoor activities and meaningful social interactions.
