Caring for aging feet
Our feet are at the base of our mobility, supporting our weight as we go about our daily lives. Over time, this constant use leads to natural wear and tear that becomes more pronounced as we age. For this reason, maintaining healthy feet is especially important for seniors. The aging process brings about many natural changes in the feet: thickened toenails, drier and more fragile skin, reduced circulation to the limbs and an increased risk of infection. These changes can make seniors more vulnerable to foot-related issues.
Challenges to foot care in seniors
While foot care is increasingly important with age, the ability to care for our own feet sometimes diminishes as we get older. Tasks that once seemed simple, like trimming nails or inspecting feet, can become quite challenging. Inability to reach the toes, poor vision, arthritis and other health conditions often reduce our self-care ability. This could lead to neglecting foot health, which in turn impacts the quality of life and increases the risk of complications, including infections and foot ulcers.
