What is Personal Care for Seniors?

How Does Personal Care for Seniors Help?
Regular hygiene practices, including bathing, oral care, and grooming, help prevent infections, skin issues, and other health concerns. Proper hygiene also reduces the risk of complications from conditions like diabetes.
Poor self-care can lead to withdrawal from social interactions. When seniors feel their best, they are more likely to stay active and connected with family, friends, and their community.
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among seniors, according to the National Council on Aging. Bathrooms are a common place where falls occur. Having a trusted caregiver to help as needed can keep your loved one safe at home.
