If you are one of the numerous individuals who act as a caregiver, it’s important that you take good care of your own health as well. Your pharmacist can offer advice to help you fulfill your caregiver role without putting your own health at risk.

Taking care of someone who is ill takes a lot of time and energy. People who do so usually do it out of devotion, without considering the impact that this can have on other aspects of their life (family life, relationship with their spouse, work life, etc.).

Not a day goes by at the store that we don't see someone come into our store with a walker that is not adjusted or appropriately fitted for them.

There are many benefits of using a walker, including increased mobility, stability and improvements in balance, assistance with weight-bearing, and improved endurance and strength. However, if the walker is not fitted correctly for you, it may not be safe.

Our knowledgeable team can provide a thorough assessment and purchase of your walker needs. These needs can include a review of any of your physical limitations, whether you will use the walker indoors or outdoors, your size and weight, and the specific benefits you are seeking. We often work with physiotherapists to ensure the walker we recommend is best for you.

An important consideration is ensuring that the seat height is correct so you can sit comfortably and stand up safely.

While walkers can be an investment, don’t let price determine your choice. Lighter weight or less expensive models may not be best for you. For example, a heavier walker will provide better stability and safety.

We specialize in “no pressure” customer service, so come on in and look at the walkers we have in the store. We are happy to answer any questions you may have. And for goodness sake, don’t let your pride stop you from using a walker because, as they say, "pride cometh before a fall."
