Loss of mobility can happen gradually or suddenly, making everyday activities more challenging for older adults and the families who support them. In this podcast, join host Karen Summey, MA, ACAPcommunity Project Manager and Podcast Host, Active Family Caregiver and Mr. Bill Price, Owner, Mobility Scooters and More, Roswell, GA as they explore how to recognize when it may be time to consider mobility solutions and how to assess changing physical needs and limitations. Learn about common types of durable medical equipment (DME)—such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs, and other assistive devices—and how to select options that promote safety, independence, and quality of life. Experts share practical guidance to help caregivers and their families make informed decisions with confidence.
