Mobility is a gift. But, as with health, it’s one of those things you don’t think much about until you don’t have it. And let’s face it, the older folks get, the more limited their mobility becomes.The ability to get around is foundational to a thriving society, enabling community members to access opportunities, essential services and social connections.
