Nail hygiene is very important as well as elder skin care. Check the toe nails at least every 2 weeks as well as the fingernails. The toe nails if left unclipped can curl under the toes and become very painful and will make walking harder on your elder. Keep fingernails short and groomed as your elder can scratch themselves and cause bleeding sores. If any of these are at pressure points, a scratch can turn into a pressure or bed sore.
