In a recent post, we highlighted common senior foot problems and solutions, as learned from Brooke Burris, certified pedorthist at Medical West. Here we continue that topic, focusing on therapeutic shoes – a popular remedy when inserts do not provide relief.
As many as 87% of Americans report having had painful feet at some time in their lives. Furthermore, one in three people over the age of 65 has foot pain, stiffness or aching feet.
Nearly 25 million American’s are living with incontinence. Yet, many are unaware of the wide variety of products available to assist people of different sizes, conditions and needs. As a home care provider, we at Seniors Home Care know that our goal is to allow seniors to remain active and vibrant in their community. Without proper incontinence products, seniors become ashamed, withdrawn and reclusive. With the right product, incontinence can be managed to fit any lifestyle and preference.
This is the first post of a new monthly series in which we will introduce products designed to assist patients to live independently. As home care specialists, we at Seniors Home Care know that incorporating appropriate personal care products is very important. Working with and understanding these products can allow our caregivers to deliver unmatched home care services.
