Maintaining nail health can be a challenge for older adults, especially for those with limited dexterity or vision. Neglected nails can lead to discomfort, infections, and mobility issues, impacting overall well-being. A caregiver can assist with regular nail care to ensure clean, trimmed, and healthy nails, preventing complications and keeping hands and feet comfortable. Proper nail care can improve not only physical health but also self-esteem and confidence, so your loved one can feel their best.

Our goal is to enhance overall health and well-being by addressing the often-overlooked aspects of personal care. We offer training for caregivers to provide non-skilled care and support services that focus on personal grooming, including nail care, to keep your loved one comfortable and healthy. Non-skilled services can include assistance with trimming nails, cleaning and moisturizing hands and feet, preventing ingrown nails, and treating nail infections. Proper nail care can reduce discomfort and prevent health issues, helping your loved one feel confident and well-groomed.

Every year thousands of people realize they need a helping hand. Supportive Personal Care Services was founded in 2012 and has built a solid reputation as a caregiver referral source in the healthcare community.

The Importance of Nail Care for Older Adults

As we age, our nails can become thicker, brittle, or more prone to infections. Without proper care, these issues can worsen, leading to pain, discomfort, and more serious health concerns. Regular nail care is especially important for individuals with limited mobility, as they may not be able to care for their nails themselves.

At Supportive Personal Care Services, we recognize the importance of nail care for maintaining overall health, as well as enhancing your loved one’s confidence and self-esteem. Clean, trimmed nails not only prevent infections but also make your loved one feel comfortable and well-groomed, which can have a positive impact on their mental and emotional well-being.
