Same issues here. My MIL will be 95 in August. Has all her facilities, but she is very unsteady on feet. We can’t convince her to use a cane. FIL is 93 has macular degeneration and his Dr said he should be used no a walker. Again won’t use one, then my husband who is 73 needs to use a cane or walker, multiple falls; thank goodness nothing breaks. Nothing I can do!
