The Importance of Taking Care of Your Senior’s Skin During National Skin Care Awareness Month

September 20, 2017 by Jay Bloodsworth

September is National Skin Care Awareness Month.

Senior Care in Roseville CA: Skin Care Awareness Month

Senior Care in Roseville CA: Skin Care Awareness Month

As with the rest of their body, your parent’s skin changes are they get older. It becomes thinner, more fragile, and more vulnerable to damage and other problems. This can be a problem not just in the way that it looks, but also in the way that it feels and the way that it functions as an integral part of your parent’s body. It is vital to remember that the skin is the body’s largest organ and properly caring for it is an essential part of guarding your loved one’s health and well-being as they age.

Elderly skin that is not properly cared for can be tight, itchy, and uncomfortable, but it can also be more vulnerable to scratches, tears, and other injuries. These injuries tend to take longer to heal in elderly adults, leaving them vulnerable to potential infections and issues for much longer.

Through properly caring for your senior’s skin you can help it to stay more comfortable and prevent serious issues such as cancer, but also reduce the chances that they will experience tears or cuts that could cause serious infections that could put your parent’s health and well-being at risk.

Starting senior care for your aging parent can be one of the best decisions that you can make for them throughout the course of your caregiver journey for them. A senior home care services provider can be with your parent on a customized schedule to ensure that they get all of the care, support, assistance, and encouragement that they need as they age in place. Through a set of highly personalized services tailored specifically to your aging parent’s needs, challenges, and limitations, this senior home care services provider can help your parent to stay healthy, safe, comfortable, and happy while pursuing a lifestyle that is as independent, active, and engaged as possible throughout their later years. When it comes to helping them keep their skin healthy and safe, this care provider can support your parent in fulfilling their personal care needs, such as effective bathing, and support good lifestyle choices such as regular handwashing and moisturization. As a family caregiver this can give you peace of mind knowing your senior can live a high quality of life when you are with them and when you are not.
