A
Senior's Loss of Independence due to "Loss of Mobility or physical impairment" ARE GRADUAL. One day you wake up
and find you can not see as well, you might need a magnifier to read the small print or perhaps your family complains that
you turn the TV up too loud. There are wireless headsets that you can use to hear better while the rest of the family listens
at normal volume. Over time walking getting harder, seniors progress from a cane to a walker and then to a wheelchair.
