How to Help with Bathing and Personal Hygiene: Top Tips from Caregivers

As your loved one gets older, their changing mental status and physical condition may lead to some significant alterations in their daily habits. One of the biggest issues that many families experience is a serious lapse in their loved ones’ desire and ability to maintain their personal hygiene.

But back in the day when John was a fledgling builder, there was a lot of moving around for the Atchison family. “There was a 10 year stretch when we moved nine times,” Diane said. “We moved through three pregnancies, but we had it down, and it’s all been worth it.” The home is chock-full of amazing finishes and details, most notably the reclaimed barn wood creatively utilized throughout – custom cabinetry in the living room, exposed beams in the vaulted ceiling, accents that enclose a private ...

She's looking forward to meeting new friends and being able to ride horses, swim and host tea parties . She's also a little nervous and a little scared, like any 7-year-old facing her first sleepaway camp. But the wonder is that Kaitlyn is leaving the house for anything but a medical facility . Diagnosed with leukemia when she was 18 months old, her life has been consumed with cancer treatments, doctors' visits and hospital stays. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common cancer among young children, accounting for a quarter of all cancer cases in kids, and it has no cure.

Rounds of chemotherapy can buy patients time , but as the disease progresses, the periods of remissio...
