Foot Care
Taking care of feet is crucial for residents, especially for older adults. Good foot health can alleviate pain and discomfort, boost confidence, enhance quality of life, and promote independence. Healthy feet also encourage physical activity, helping individuals stay engaged in their communities and improving overall energy and enthusiasm for life. Furthermore, ignoring foot care can lead to falls, which are often preventable.
