[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. yes, he needs them. He has fallen twice recently in the bathtub - he needs bars to hold onto. He is getting 'stuck' in the old chair he has as it tilts back and he can't get out. They won't let me replace the chair so I got a handle he can use to pull himself forward in the chair so he can get out. Utensils with bigger handles. Those types of things. [/quote] An aging professional will know how to talk to the elderly to make this all more palatable. Sometimes when our very difficult, it helps to get an outsider involved with expertise. Sometimes they even behave and fall into line right away because they don't want the outsider to see how irrational they are, other times, the denial is deep, but they can start to process things when it's not your daughter or son telling you what to do.
