Something as simple as a the right shoe can make all the difference for people in senior care. Sherman Oaks, CA seniors don’t have to let foot pain control their schedule.
Even seniors with chronic health conditions, like diabetes, don’t have to just suffer with pain from walking and standing. And perhaps those in home care assistance in Sherman Oaks, CA have also noticed some pain in their ankles, knees, and hips after standing or walking for a while.
Well, a lot of that pain could be due to wearing the wrong shoes.
Not only should shoes be stylish, but they also should offer support to key parts of your foot, enough room for your toes, and have enough padding to make walking and standing a breeze.
And good elderly assisted living in Sherman Oaks, CA may well include going for a walk, or heading out to a museum or other activity. That’s the sort of thing the trained, licensed, bonded, compassionate CAREGivers of Home Instead would be happy to help organize and make happen.
They also can help their residential assisted living clients choose the right shoe for the occasion.
Some of these shoes are more dressy, some are more casual or sporty. And some are definitely more like tennis shoes.
For women, the Merry Jane shoe made by Dr. Comfort provides excellent support and cushioning while presenting a classic, dressy look. For less dressy occasions, the Walk Easy made by SAS will cradle your foot in comfort, ease the pressure on your joints, and will complement your slacks and blazer. For the avid walker, or those who have difficulty tying their shoes, Skechers makes the GOwalk Joy. It is a slip-on shoe with a generous sole to provide stability, support, and comfort.
For men, the L.L. Bean Comfort Moc fills that slip-on walking shoe niche nicely. It also has a sturdy, generous sole, and it provides support and comfort just where you need it. For dressier occasions, the SAS Walk Easy gives all the comfort and support you’ll need, with a wing-tip look and feel. For the sportier occasions the Dr. Comfort Performance shoe provides stability and comfort, and since it does not rely on laces it gives that extra ease of use. The Performance shoe also has a removable insole, allowing users to use their own custom orthotics.
These are just a few of the many options available for great shoes that will help improve your quality of life. And if you’re looking for assistance in choosing one — or in choosing where to go once you’re in them — trust the CAREGivers of Home Instead.
