These are given as examples and would need to be tailored to the individual needs of each elderly person. This can include a multi-disciplinary approach with any relevant health professionals including nursing home staff, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Ensure_that_the_older_person_receives_regular_dental_care\"><\/span>1. Ensure that the older person receives regular dental care.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mouth is a gateway to other parts of the body. So dental care and oral care are a high priority. Gum disease is prevalent in the elderly, so it is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentist-singapore.com\/articles\/how-to-maintain-a-good-oral-hygiene.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">important to ensure that oral health is optimal<\/a>. This can be done by brushing teeth twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and flossing once daily. Dentures should also be removed nightly for cleaning, disinfection, and air drying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Ensure_the_older_person_receives_regular_medical_care\"><\/span>2. Ensure the older person receives regular medical care.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can include regular check-ups for any medical problems and treatment when necessary. The older person should be examined by a doctor to see if they need any medication or treatment. This could be done as a routine check-up as part of an older person&#8217;s health plan, and\/or as a referral to a specialist or other health care provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Maintain_healthy_body_weight_and_be_active\"><\/span>3. Maintain healthy body weight and be active.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the person is at ideal body weight, they will have less pressure on their joints and tendons, allowing them to move easier. When they are not underweight, then there is no need to force them to eat more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the person has lost a lot of weight, it may be more appropriate to discuss eating habits. In terms of activity, this can be achieved through walking or by sitting in non-slip chairs while they are showering or bathing. It can also be done by doing exercises that involve large muscle groups. Such as sitting in a rocking chair and gently lifting their legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Ensure_the_older_person_has_dressed_appropriately_for_their_level_of_mobility_and_activities\"><\/span>4.

Strains and sprains are common for those who lose balance easily and fall easily. This can be prevented by using non-slip mats in the bathroom. Or placing a handrail next to the shower or bathtub to assist with balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Feel_free_to_ask_questions_if_an_elderly_person_feels_they_need_any_care_or_assistance\"><\/span>5. Feel free to ask questions if an elderly person feels they need any care or assistance.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could be about any aspect of personal hygiene. It could also relate to a <a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.elderlyhomecare.com.sg\/articles\/common-illness-of-the-elderly-how-to-take-care.html\">medical condition or other health concern<\/a>, and it is important not to make a person feel embarrassed or ashamed. The focus should always be on their dignity and their humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Be_aware_of_how_the_older_person_uses_public_transport_especially_public_lifts_and_escalators\"><\/span>6. Be aware of how the older person uses public transport, especially public lifts and escalators.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The elderly must attend well-equipped public places such as lifts or escalators as they may not handle stairs well as they age, so care should be taken when transporting them in these places by ensuring they are traveling close together with someone able to carry them if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Ensure_the_older_person_has_a_comfortable_bed_and_good_nutrition_to_help_them_sleep_well\"><\/span>7.

It should be soft and supportive but not have extra fluff which can cause backache. To help with sleeping, the person may need to reduce screen time in the evening, exercise more regularly, and relax more before going to bed (e.g.: listen to soothing music or read a book). Other techniques that can help with sleeping include: avoiding caffeine; not eating heavy meals late in the day; managing stress; avoiding nicotine as much as possible; doing activities that are calming for them (e.g gentle stretching exercises).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Ensure_the_older_persons_bathroom_is_clean_and_the_sink_is_well_maintained\"><\/span>8. Ensure the older person&#8217;s bathroom is clean and the sink is well maintained.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The older person may require assistance or tools in the bathroom, especially if they are at an older age or have health conditions. There are many simple ways to make this a more comfortable situation, including using a non-slip mat on the toilet seat and ensuring that all items in and around the bathroom, such as razors, shaving cream, toothbrushes, and soap are kept clean and out of sight. It can also be helpful for them to sit down for most of their baths and showers rather than standing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Ensure_the_person_has_good_ventilation_in_their_bedroom\"><\/span>9. Ensure the person has good ventilation in their bedroom.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The older person may have difficulty opening a window because of mobility issues, so they should be aware that it may be a good idea to open a window just enough to hear the birds singing or feel the breeze. It can also be useful to install an exhaust fan above the bed and make sure that there is adequate circulation between the room and the rest of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Older_persons_should_be_provided_with_someone_who_cares_for_them_at_all_times\"><\/span>10.

They should also be able to call their caregiver to ask for help, or if they need medical attention. It is very important to ensure there are no misunderstandings between the elderly person and the caregivers and it is recommended that there be a written agreement in place for future reference stating what each party&#8217;s role is about each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_For_Elderly_Personal_Hygiene_%E2%80%93_Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Tips For Elderly Personal Hygiene &#8211; Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To summarise, the older person&#8217;s home, residential care facility, and environment must be clean, well-lit, and safe. It is also important that the older person has someone who cares for them at all times and that both parties understand how each other&#8217;s interaction can be beneficial for the older person&#8217;s health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top tips for elderly personal hygiene.
