Daniel Ugwu's post on Goodwall - Helping the elderly to stay active by encouraging him to incorporate joint- friendly activities such as going on nature walks or working in the garden. I encouraged my grandfather to do these joint-friendly exercises and they helped him. Bringing some of the grand children to stay with the elderly, helps his social life. The more he spends time with friends and family, the more he stays physically, emotionally and mentally healthier than those who do not. Keep the elderly involved in his decision making. From my experience, the elderly becomes resistant to receiving help if he feels that other people are making all his choices for him. So, including him in decisions about his care helps. Becoming familiar with the treatment, medication, and specific condition they are dealing with, by engaging the family doctor, would help to achieve treatment goal. #017summer2020challenge5
