A CAPABLE Program for Aging-in-Place
|
Q. With a bad back and arthritis in her knees, my 76-year-old mother, Gwen, struggles to walk down the steps outside her home to go out. Afraid of falling, she often opts to stay inside rather than brave the loose railings out front.
Inside, my mom’s home proves a challenge to navigate, as well. Frayed rugs and wayward lamp cords are consistent tripping hazards. And with no grab bars, lowering herself into a bathtub puts more pressure on her weakened knees. Despite these challenges, my mother wants to avoid moving to a retirement home. She feels comfortable in her home and wants to stay as long as she can.
I would like to honor my mother’s wishes and do what I can to help her age-in-place safely, but I don’t know where to start. Are there any programs out there to help people in her situation, and to make her home safer and more livable for someone susceptible to falling.
Thanks for your help!
Critter Corner: Did Karl Lagerfeld Just Leave $210 Million to His Cat?
|
Dear Angel,
I heard that Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel’s late artistic director, left the bulk of his £150 million fortune (approximately $210 million dollars according to today’s exchange rate) to his cat, Choupette. It makes me wish that I was her (the cat!) I have a beautiful, loyal, sweet, and smart labradoodle named Chewy, who I would like to ensure is taken care of, should something happen to me. I can’t leave him millions, but I want
to make sure he has love and all the necessities in life. Is there a way to do so? Thanks for your help!
