Q My dad is in his early 90s and fortunately has enjoyed really good health.
He lives alone since my mother died and is doing a great job of caring for himself.
I visit twice a week and have lunch with him and check up on things, but he is really a good role model for maintaining independence.
As his only child, I want to make sure I am not missing anything related to his health and well-being.
Are there things that need to be in place to assure he can stay in his home?
I guess what I am asking is what is out there for older individuals to help them stay safe?
