Many older people struggle to use their limbs regularly or can exercise and suffer from common cardiovascular diseases like heart issues and stroke, along with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, which require special attention to keep older people comfortable, pain-free, and protected from nasty falls.
Becoming old can lead to many health conditions like arthritis, cancer, Alzheimer’s, balance disorders, hip and joint replacement, and incontinence, which can affect your mobility and independence considerably.
