Hi everyone,
I am currently typing here in hopes of finding some advice (any advice at this point) in regards to my dads falling issue... In the last month he has fallen 3 times. This is new to us. I have run out of ideas... Any word of advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
Things you ought to know...
My dad is 65 years old
He uses a cane to walk due to a bad hip (car accident)
The man refuses to use ANYTHING ELSE! ( I bought him a new cane with the four leg thingy, a walker , and a WHEELCHAIR!)
He is stubborn -_-
Bought him slip resistant shoes...
He is not on any meds that would make him drowsy
Lives at an Assisted Living Facility
I don't know what else to do... :'(
I fear he will really hurt himself...
Is his poor balance a sign of his condition getting worse? :/
