Mankato Agency Arthritis Tips



MANKATO-August 27, 2012-(KMKO)-The Minnesota River Area Agency on Aging is sharing some tips to caregivers on caring for those with arthritis.  Everyday activities can be too painful for those suffering from arthritis, leading to stress and disappointment.  The agency wants caregivers to become educated on the disease, use pill reminders, don't let loved ones sit idle for long periods of time, begin a moderate exercise routine to help with mobility and use safety rails in the bathroom and along stairways to reduce falls.  You can get more helpful advice on living with arthritis by calling the agency at 389-8869.
