Frequently asked questions
What are the main mobility aids for seniors?
In order from least to most support: cane, walker, rollator, wheelchair, power chair. Start with the least support your parent can safely use — stepping up too fast accelerates deconditioning. Medicare Part B covers most of these in Newport Beach, CA with a doctor's order.
How do I help a parent transfer safely?
Safe transfers require technique, not strength. In Newport Beach, CA, the biggest mistakes are (1) family members lifting with their back instead of their legs, (2) lifting from behind without a gait belt, (3) trying to transfer a parent who's already losing balance. Our caregivers are trained in safe transfer technique and bring their own gait belts.
What home modifications help with mobility?
The highest-ROI modifications in Newport Beach, CA: grab bars in the bathroom, a raised toilet seat, stair railings on both sides, removing throw rugs, widening doorways if a wheelchair is in the near future. Our coordinators will walk the home and prioritize based on your parent's current and likely future needs.
