ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) — As Barbara Brunick and her caregiver, Carol Davy, sit around a table playing Yahtzee, laughter drowns out the sound of dice rolling.

The two women spend a lot of time together through a service called Senior Helpers of Austin. Davy helps Brunick get to doctor’s appointments and run errands but also provides companionship to the 85-year-old.

“We get along!” Davy laughs. Brunick chimes in to admit that they sometimes bicker, but Ellington-Davy insists, “I never feel like leaving her.”

Seniors with limited mobility can remain independent and active by following these effective strategies.
