If someone in your care uses a walker, he may have trouble maneuvering it on hardwood floors or linoleum. But here's an easy, inexpensive fix: Cut slits in two tennis balls and place them over the rubber stoppers on the front legs of the walker. The tennis balls slide more easily along smooth flooring but aren't so slick that they pose a fall risk.
