Muscle is not just for gyms. It is one of the strongest predictors of survival, independence and recovery in older adults.

In this blog, we translate the latest strength-and-longevity research into practical steps for older adults, families and support coordinators: how early muscle loss starts, why it matters for falls and hospital stays, and how to safely rebuild strength at any age.

When a walking stick starts to feel “not enough”, it might be time to consider a four-wheeled walker (rollator).
✅ providing extra stability to support safer walking
✅ offering a built-in seat for rest breaks
✅ carrying items (plate/cup) so your hands stay free

An Occupational Therapist can help you choose the right walker, set it up correctly, and make sure it suits your home and daily routines.

Progress isn’t always a BIG breakthrough.
Sometimes it’s a small step that makes daily life easier.

For an older adult, a small win might be:
✅ Standing safely from a chair with less help
✅ Showering with more confidence
✅ Walking to the letterbox with steadier steps

These moments may look small, but they build confidence, routines, and participation. Over time, they support independence, dignity, and identity.

At Cas Health, we help set practical goals and work out the steps that make everyday tasks safer and more sustainable.

NDIS eligibility comes down to 3 key checks:
✅ Age: you’re 9–65 when you apply (children under 9 access supports via early childhood pathways).
✅ Residency: you live in Australia and are an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or Protected SCV holder.
✅ Disability / Early Intervention: you have a permanent impairment that causes significant functional impact in everyday life (or you may qualify through early intervention if support now can reduce future disability).

Not sure where you sit? An OT Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) can clearly show how your disability impacts daily living and what supports are reasonable and necessary.

Caring for someone you love can be deeply meaningful and still feel heavy.
If you’re a carer, needing support doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means the load has been big for a long time.

A few gentle reminders:
If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, skipping your own health needs, or can’t remember the last time you truly rested, it may be time to ask for help.

Respite care is short-term support that gives you a break while your loved one is still supported safely.

If you’re in Melbourne and want practical, OT-guided support to make daily life safer and more sustainable at home (for both the person you care for and you), Cas Health can help.
