Sometimes, we treat our seniors like our children because we serve them and take care of their basic needs. But it is good practice to always ask permission.

As I was giving massage to a client who said yes when I asked her if I can give her a massage, I was able to include grooming and ensuring the health of her skin.

We can identify other areas in the body that needs attention such as the feet and nails.

I noticed that she is due for a podiatrist appointment and request for more body lotion to heal her dry skin.

Massage allows growth of body cells.

I always train our caregivers to pay attention to the skin and massage service to senior clients. As I massage the client, I was able to inspect her skin and her beddings and added baking soda to the mattress. I used a mixed oil with eucalyptus for her massage oil.
