As individuals age, day-to-day activities such as taking a bath or shower can become more difficult. Illness, injuries, medications, and chronic conditions can make otherwise ordinary tasks challenging, leading to a deterioration in overall health and wellness. Trouble with balance, vision, and coordination can make daily tasks like getting dressed, shaving and grooming hard for many older people, and without good personal hygiene, skin infections, dental problems and overall health issues can emerge.
Many seniors become reclusive and withdraw from social activities simply because they are no longer able to take care of their own basic needs, which can lead to further health issues. With help from experienced caregivers, your loved one can look and feel their best.
