Living Well with Mobility Limitations
Mobility Limitations can be a risk factor for several conditions and lead to increased isolation and loneliness. A carer helps to make your home more accessible.
Continuing grooming and good hygiene habits helps to maintain dignity and a sense of self-worth as we age.
Changes to grooming and hygiene habits can lead to withdrawal from social interactions due to embarrassment about appearance or body odours and can cause poor self-esteem. Neglected hygiene can also cause infections and poor health if not carefully monitored.
So, why do changes in grooming and hygiene occur?
Most older adults would prefer to continue similar grooming habits as they get older. If they wear their hair a certain way, put on make-up, shave, maintain a beard or use specific products, and would like to continue these habits, they may require ongoing support to maintain their appearance.
Good hygiene must be maintained to promote healthy ageing. This includes regular showering, oral hygiene, regular laundering of clothing and bedding, and daily changes of clothes. It is important to seek help to complete these tasks if they are not being completed regularly.
