Caring for older people is becoming increasingly relevant due to the increase in the older population.
Care homes are entire, and hospitals are under extra pressure to perform, so we need to consider how caring for the elderly benefits the person.
Elderly massage is a unique way a staff member or loved one can create and develop strong bonds and improve their relationship with an older person, essentially through the power of touch.
We know that caring for an older adult can be stressful for the family member and that older person. They may have been forced to relocate from their home to a care home, as they are no longer able to care for themselves or have been diagnosed with dementia and need to be relocated for their safety.
It is incredibly emotional, so knowing they are getting excellent care and an elderly massage can greatly comfort all parties involved.
A regular elderly massage can help alleviate feelings of being disconnected. A safe and nurturing touch releases feel-good chemicals in the brain.
We also know that caring for the elderly with an elderly massage will help de-stress and calm the recipient, which is ideal for anyone experiencing dementia.
An elderly massage is ideal for many since it is a natural treatment they love when we speak to our customers. Many older people have to take a variety of pills, and the consensus is that they prefer not to and that they don’t like to take so many tablets.
This is one reason elderly massage is popular and is recognised by progressive nursing homes and the like.
We have worked with various clients who have appreciated the difference that learning elderly massage has made to the quality of care they provide for their clients.
We are passionate about providing care for the elderly and want to share our knowledge with homes, groups, and others so that everyone can benefit from a calming elderly massage.
It does make us feel good, but most importantly, it makes an incredibly positive difference to the quality of life for older people.
