If it is hard for you to wash your lower legs and feet because you can’t reach below your knees when bathing, use kitchen tongs to hold a sponge – this will extend your reach, allowing you to wash your feet and legs without bending over. There are also a few commercial products that can help include foot scrubbers and long-handled sponge scrubbers.
We hope this information is helpful to you in the important work you do as a family caregiver.
