As we age, our bodies start to wear down. It’s an unfortunate truth, but it’s something we all go through eventually. In most cases, this gradual breakdown is normal and does not impair the activities of daily living as an older adult.
Many seniors remain mobile and independent well into their golden years. In other situations, though, conditions like balance problems and strokes, or the injuries caused by accidents like falls can create a dynamic that requires physical therapy or rehabilitation.
In these cases, extended care is typically necessary, and may be the only way a person can get back to health and continue to live independently.
While not all of these situations are preventable, there are certain preventative actions you and your loved ones can take to ensure health in the long-term.
