My mom had a couple of falls before she moved in with me and one while she was here. Her major issue was getting in and out of the shower and using the kitchen. The way my house is designed there was just no way for me to make it easier on her and she has arthritis and foot numbness from diabetes so she can't stand very long. She finally is realizing that one of these times a fall could happen and she could break a hip or blow out her knee and it could be something that makes her wheelchair bound for the rest of her life so she needed a place that built for someone with limited mobility and people around 24/7 to help her.
