Promoting quality life is, without a doubt, the goal of all caregiver services in Virginia and other surrounding areas. In hospice care, on top of caregiving, managing pain are also the top priority.
Often, when the elderly are in their final stages of life, skin deterioration is observed and pressure ulcers or most commonly known as bedsores, appear. That’s why it is essential to have a skilled nursing staff to apply proper wound care, especially among terminally ill patients.
Good wound care will help contribute to the senior adult’s physical, psychological, and emotional comfort. That’s why it is essential that a full-body check is done to assess risk factors that cause bed sores like immobilization, inability to communicate discomfort, chronic illness, and poor nutrition.
