Use safety rails in the bathroom and
along stairways so the loved one can maintain their
balance and still be provided with reassuring
support.
If possible, anytime large items are
used, it may be easier to condense the item such as
soap or soda into a smaller, lighter bottle that
they can lift easier.
In the kitchen, use lightweight
dishware and cups with handles when they are eating.
Do not be afraid to attend arthritis
support groups that can help caregivers adjust
emotionally and better understand the condition.
