Foot problems can affect our enjoyment of life. If the person you're caring for cannot say they are having problems, you may need to take action to ensure good foot health. Someone with dementia may be unsteady or walk more slowly than they used to but there are also other reasons why your loved one might be less keen to walk.
Fungal nail problems are common, are not usually serious but can look unsightly. Nails may appear yellow / grey, thickened and crumbly. The fungi causing nail problems often live harmlessly on the skin, but can multiply unchecked which leads to infection. Warm, dark and damp places (like feet) provide favourable conditions for the development of fungal infections and prevention is better than cure.
