As a caregiver, one of the earliest and easiest
As a caregiver, one of the earliest and easiest signs to notice is when your senior’s hands or feet feel unusually cold even when the room is warm and the rest of their body feels comfortable.
This happens because blood isn’t circulating properly to the extremities. What might seem like a small thing can be an important warning sign of poor circulation (peripheral artery disease or other vascular issues).
What caregivers should do:
Don’t ignore cold extremities in seniors. Catching it early can help prevent more serious problems down the road.
You’re doing important work caring for them. Stay observant!
