Why is it very important?
Well, having well-maintained hair, nails, and skin helps seniors feel good.
They are less likely to undergo negative emotions leading to depression, anxiety, or a feeling of hopelessness and uncared for.
A companion caregiver provides both the senior and his or her family with peace of mind.
A companion caregiver might be the only meaningful social contact a senior has throughout their week.
Instead of just sitting in front of the television for yet another day, the companion and the senior spend time interacting, socializing, and possibly getting around for a walk, or playing a game.
The importance of providing foot and hand care for seniors.
Foot problems tend to arise as we age.
Feet lose cushioning over time, and the nails and skin can grow brittle and dry.
Many seniors experience reduced overall blood flow, and this can delay the healing of foot sores which if left untreated can cause serious complications.
