On this episode of Sandwich Stories, Lexie walks listeners through three common mobility options, a basic folding walker, a starter rollator with a seat, and a more advanced rollator with larger wheels, explaining how to fit them correctly, when each one is safest, and what features to watch for (like wheel width, swivels, and brake reliability). She shares real-world caregiver tips on preventing falls, navigating doorways and uneven sidewalks, and choosing the right option based on your loved one’s balance and independence.
