Hello and welcome back to all home care matters.

If this is your first time visiting us here at the show, thank you for taking time out to be with us today.

We appreciate how valuable everyone's time is.

And that's why we try and make each episode here at all home care matters, something that will hopefully matter to you. Today, we're going to be talking about safe and fun activities that a senior with limited

mobility can enjoy doing. As our loved ones age, their needs can increase, as well as their physical

abilities decrease. As their physical abilities begin decreasing, it can lead

to other parts of their lives being stopped or forgotten about. This is hard to watch as

our loved ones slowly lose the ability to do things they used to enjoy, and it can lead

to other issues for them as well, like depression, loneliness, and isolation

from their friends and groups that they used to belong to and others.

And this is why it's so important that they stay engaged and active.

If you're concerned about your loved one and haven't been able to find activities for them

to get involved with or to be a part of,

we want to share some ideas with you of safe and fun ways for them to stay active and to help them

stay involved. All of our seniors that we love dearly and that are close to us slowly begin

losing abilities to do certain things that they may have been able to enjoy

not too long ago. And everyone's needs and abilities will be unique to them and what they can

and can't do. For instance, some seniors may be bedbound. Some may require a wheelchair for assistance.

And some may no longer be able to drive, while others may be able to drive but require oxygen.

Only you know what your loved one's abilities are and what they require.
