Would you recognise the early signs of a pressure sore in an older loved one?
Sometimes, a change as simple as spending more time in bed can be an early indication that someone needs additional support.
Recently, our Care Professionals noticed changes in a customer’s usual routine, alongside some concerning areas of redness on her skin.
Rather than waiting for the situation to worsen, our team acted promptly, involving her GP, District Nurses and Community Support Team to ensure she received the appropriate assessments and recommendations for specialist equipment.
It’s a reminder of how important it is to recognise changes early, communicate concerns and work together with healthcare professionals to protect someone’s health and wellbeing.
In our latest blog, we share 7 early signs of pressure sores in older people, practical advice for families and why joined-up care can make such a difference 👉: https://braeburncare.co.uk/7-early-signs-of-pressure-sores-in-older-people-what-families-need-to-know/
