The human body changes with age. Unfortunately, not all changes are for the better. If you are caring for an elderly loved one, you should anticipate some of these changes- and their consequences:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Thinner Skin: <\/strong>The human skin tends to thin with age, which can lead to dryness, breaking, and abrasions. Remind your loved one to be extra careful both indoors and outside to avoid injury.<\/li>\n
  2. Hormonal Changes: <\/strong>Changes in the production of certain hormones are natural with age and can cause a variety of effects throughout the body including dry eyes and dry skin. Be attentive to your loved one\u2019s needs and make sure to discuss recent changes or new discomfort with your doctor.<\/li>\n
  3. Weaker Muscles: <\/strong>The human muscles also weaken with age which can put your loved one at risk for injuries from falls. Make sure that your loved one has the support they need to move around and keep them active to help muscles stay in good shape.<\/li>\n
  4. Eyesight Changes: <\/strong>It is normal for vision to decline and elderly people who may have only worn glasses to see near before may need a more advanced prescription that covers various distances. In addition, cataracts do eventually develop and should be monitored by your optometrist to ensure that they do not become a problem.<\/li>\n
  5. Organ Function Changes: <\/strong>Changes in liver and kidney function put your loved one at a greater risk for certain problems including medication side effects. In some cases, medication dosages may be altered to avoid dangerous side effects in the elderly, so it is important that your loved one takes their medication as prescribed by the doctor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Caring for a loved one can be a big responsibility. Sutton In-Home Senior Care<\/a> is here to help keep your loved one safe and give you peace of mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
