2. Foot And Ankle Care
• Trim the Toenails
Keeping your toenails trimmed will
help prevent ingrown toenails, which
can contribute to infections and more
severe issues.
• Moisturize
Moisturizing your feet regularly with
a high-quality, gentle lotion will help
keep dry skin at bay and prevent
blisters and calluses from forming.
3. • Check Your Feet Regularly
It’s important for seniors -- especially those who
are already suffering from diabetes or nerve
conditions -- to check their feet regularly to look
for bumps, sores, or other abnormalities.
• Wear Good Shoes
It’s important for seniors to wear high-quality
shoes that fit and provide plenty of support.
This will help minimize strain caused by
flatfoot or other conditions and minimize the
risk of strains or other injuries.
