I have a grandma (95+)
who was very active and doing
even household chores.
(not staying with me but she calls me
twice a day ,In fact about 40 calls a day ,
she remembers all these numbers. I can't
remember her number.) (plus few video calls
from other phones)
Recently she had a fall , but, buy
God’s grace escaped without any
fractures.(I visited her and she actually
fed me even now )
But she was in pains and her mobility
is visibly reduced but she is not prepared
to accept it . She still like to have her
great grandchildren (twins ) jump over her
She still goes to restrooms of her own
or does not allow herself in diapers.
(unlike earlier in walkers now)
Can you guys suggest ways in which she
(a kid if offended))can be protected to stay
without any further fall.
( protections in place , removed all sharp
objects from bathroom, non slippery tiles ,
has handrails )
I would like to hear actual cases of people
who have helped an elderly
She wants to upgrade her existing
Jiophone which she says is of
inferior quality . Can you guys
suggest another basic phone with
just number pads,
(In the mean while I ordered
another jiophone as she is
comfortable with that. Her grand
kids just throws them )
I envy you OP. Lucky you are. I had my grandma lived for 99 yrs , active still her last breath. The best possible thing is, someone has to accompany her to most places, except a few. They wanted to live like that. Yeah! Good hand stick always helps as their legs will be weak and mind will be very active. May GOD give her "POORNAYU".
It comes at a cost, but if you're genuinely interested in implementing preventive measures, consider installing handrails around the bathroom walls, in their bedroom and at the entrance and exit of the house.
These are common areas where older adults are likely to fall and injure themselves.
hmm my suggestion will be put some rubber mats around in floors where you think there is slippery shine showing up in floor, that will help in walking grip, put more rubber mats as possible in home floor where ever possible
also rubber mats will prevent some impact even if fallen on them , if the rubber matt is thick enough
