Residents make impassioned pleas to be kept clean and properly dressed when they are no longer able to care for themselves. Baths, finger nails, toe nails, teeth, dentures, hair, make-up, eye glasses, hearing aids, and clothes are all on their list. Nobody wants to sit around with uncombed hair or in a dress with food stains. “If we look good, we feel better.” Filmed at Edenwald.
Topics: Activities of daily living, hygene, dignity
Audience: Allied health training programs, assisted-living / nursing home staff, home health aides.
