Helping Seniors Live Healthier Lives

Now that I'm a senior, I find it difficult to get around like I did as a younger person. But I won't let that stop me from doing the things I love to do every day. After speaking to my doctor about my health, I realize that there are so many things I can use to improve the way I get around town and home. Instead of relying on my kids to take me shopping or to the doctor, I call a senior care taxi for my needs. I also use my motorized wheelchair to help me move around my home. This independence helps me focus on what's important in life — my family. I hope that as a senior, you also find ways to improve your life. My blog can help you do so.
