Help moving around
Help walking, changing position, and moving around at home. Appropriate support depends on your abilities, equipment, and caregiver training.

Walking & stand-by support
Ask about walking assistance and help using a walker or cane. The team must assess your ability to balance and bear weight.

- Confirm any required training and assistance before a caregiver helps
Comfortable everyday positioning
