Physical Assistance?

As you age your physical and mental health can change.  You may find that you need help in different areas that you’ve never needed before.

You may find that you need more physical assistance.  Do you know if you have reached that point?  How can you tell?

Some questions to ask yourself are:

Is it still safe for me to drive a car?

Can you walk safely and steadily?

Are you having any significant memory loss?

If you answered yes to one or two of these questions there is a good possibility that you  need some physical assistance with your day-to-day living.

Recognizing that you have a need is a big step.  Sometimes you hear it from a family member.  Try to be open to listening to them. 

It is not always easy to accept change, especially when it’s you that is changing.  Not being able to take care of some basic tasks can get you down.

Reach out for help when you need it. There are many ways to get extra assistance.
