Do You Need A Foot Care Nurse?

Personal foot care nurses specialize in addressing common foot issues, especially in patients with conditions like diabetes and arthritis, which can lead to nerve damage and slow healing. These professionals conduct thorough assessments, offer recommendations, and provide education on proper foot care. Services include nail care, addressing calluses, treating ingrown toenails, and monitoring for signs of inflammation or injury. They can also refer patients for specialized care. Accessing these services at home ensures optimal care and long-term well-being. Foot care nurses play a crucial role in preventing and treating foot problems associated with chronic illnesses, ensuring comfort and health for their patients.

Strengthen Your Immune System

As we age, our immune response capability reduces, which can lead to potential infection and disease. Since our body uses food to extract nutrients that prevent disease, it’s important that our diets contain nutrient-rich foods for an overall stronger immune system. Antioxidant-rich foods help fight against free radicals that can cause damage to the body, whereas sugary foods generate an inflammatory response within the body, causing health issues and lowering the immune system. Foods high in antioxidants include berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, goji berries), red cabbage, beans, dark chocolate, pecans, spinach, carrots, and potatoes.

Should I Bring Mom or Dad Home?

If you have a parent who is in hospital, lives in a retirement home or in a long-term care facility, you may be asking yourself, “would Mom or Dad be safer staying at home with me temporarily?” Families across the country are struggling with this dilemma. Given the challenges of preventing disease transmission, some experts are recommending that seniors who can stay elsewhere should do so. If you want to bring a senior parent home temporarily but you’re worried about how you’ll provide the level of care they need, consider home health care services.

Dentures and Dry Mouth

Dry mouth is a condition that involves the salivary glands not producing enough saliva to adequately keep the mouth moistened. This lack of saliva can alter the fit and comfort of dentures, since saliva helps dentures retain their suction and stay in place and also has a lubricating effect that keeps dentures from rubbing on the gums and creating sores. Those who take certain medications, are older, and use tobacco and alcohol are more susceptible to dry mouth. If you’re experiencing dry mouth symptoms as a denture-wearer, contact your denturist to discuss your options.

Are You at Risk for Arthritis?

Arthritis risk factors vary, impacting individuals across ages and lifestyles. Advanced age is a significant contributor, as joint wear and tear accumulate. Genetics play a role, with family history increasing susceptibility. Certain occupations involving repetitive joint movements raise the risk. Gender is a factor, as women are more prone to certain types. Obesity strains joints, heightening the likelihood. Previous joint injuries can trigger arthritis years later. Infections or autoimmune conditions can also lead to arthritis. Sedentary lifestyles weaken muscles, exacerbating risk. Understanding these factors empowers proactive measures, such as maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, and seeking medical guidance to manage arthritis risks effectively.
