Proper Attire for the Elderly
Most elderly people do not dress properly based on mental or physical debilitating conditions affecting their daily lives. This detail is often overlooked because many simply "do not think about it". There are several styles of clothes available for people with special needs such as Alzheimer's, arthritis, or disabling conditions. Some of these styles are quite fashionable. Regular clothes are difficult and frustrating for many people who have disabilities.
Clothing designed especially for these problems makes all the difference. Most of the clothes designed for the elderly are wrinkle resistant and will stand up to heavy duty washing. There are clothes available to fit sanitary needs and accommodate for warmth without being heavy or bulky. There are special shoes available most with velcro to allow for extra width. Velcro eliminate the painful shoe tying process. Shoes should have non-slip soles which prevent/minimize pontential falls.
Poor Eye sight
People with poor eyesight or arthritis can benefit from blouses or shirts with velcro or push button fasteners. Women with poor eyesight or arthritis may benefit from a sport or bra bras with front fasteners. For caregivers, there are special open back outfits available to prevent lifting of the arms. These items are held by the caregiver, and simply stepped into. Many clothes are designed with patterns in mind that disguise any accidental stains that may occur.
Clothing for seniors can look good, feel good, and most of all able to be worn without help from a caregiver. Whatever clothing you decide on, the clothing should be loose fitting to allow for stretching, bending and ease of movement.
Elderly Dressing
When an elderly person can get dressed alone, it gives them a sense of dignity and achievement. If you notice your loved one is struggling to get dressed, why not make this everyday task a bit simpler by buying proper clothes. Some popular on-line clothing stores are silverts.com, buckandbuck.com or clothesforseniors.com. Seeing your loved one accomplish this task without help is very rewarding. This is one more step toward independence and being self-reliant. Having Life-Alarm Services in place is another big step in allowing independence!
