Is it immoral to take my grandpas walker away when he keeps falling down?
My grandpa is very frail he’s pretty much built like a skeleton with very little muscle and he can’t walk or get up on his own even with a walker I also think he has some early stage of dementia. I help him to the washroom everyday with the walker but without me balancing him he would fall majority of the times. He always asks to leave the walker with him but we know if he gets up and tries to walk by himself it’s like a 95% chance he falls over. There’s been a couple of times he’s fallen and been pretty injured. And he refuses to listen when we tell him the reason we can’t give him the walker and gets pretty mad. We’re doing this for his sake but I still feel like this is kind of immoral and I do feel bad that we are stranding him.
