Padecimientos comunes en adultos mayores pt1: Escaras por falta de movimiento.

Es común que los adultos mayores, conforme pasan los años, vayan reduciendo más y más su movilidad, debido a que la energía no es la misma. Sin embargo, al permanecer mucho tiempo en la misma posición ya sea acostado u o sentado incrementa el riesgo de sufrir escaras. Las escaras o úlceras por presión son lesiones de la piel que se forman donde hay más cercanía de piel con hueso como tobillos, talones y caderas, también pueden ser provocadas por la falta de humectación, pérdida de peso y problemas de circulación.

Es muy importante estar atento y prevenir la formación de estas lesiones ya que pueden causar infecciones graves.

Para prevenir que nuestros adultos mayores padezcan escaras, es necesario:

  • Cuidar la higiene en la piel manteniéndola siempre limpia y humectada con cremas especiales.
  • Evitar el sedentarismo y procurar que el adulto mayor cambie constantemente de posición
  • Utilizar productos que alivien la presión (almohadas, colchón de esponja, foam)
  • Realizar suaves masajes circulares en la piel sin heridas
  • Impedir la tensión en la piel: evitando arrastrar el cuerpo del adulto mayor. De ahí la importancia de contar con auxiliares de enfermería expertas.

Recuerda que en CasaMar contamos con enfermeras profesionales así como personal capacitado para atender las necesidades de nuestros habitantes.

Nuestros profesionales cuentan con la experiencia para ofrecer un cuidado con calidad humana.

Buyers remorse. These previous reviews don’t reflect reality. This is a hospice for people who are comatose or severely limited. The ad for the facility is quite misleading. The building is not in view of the ocean, but isolated on a hill with no other buildings around. The rooms are dark and the gardens are basically a small patio. No one goes outside, and there are no activities for memory care. Physical movement is limited and the food is mediocre hospital food. Meals are served at random. My husband was there two weeks and no matter how much I wrote emails or texts, I got very little response. My husband started slurring during our phone calls and I suspected he was being sedated to keep him docile. They say the staff speaks English, but the only the intake person and one staff member spoke broken English. My husband was isolated and became depressed. I was told we could have a two month trial period, but when I arrived there was a contract for a year and it was in Spanish, so I didn’t know what I was signing. The owner/manager was never seen. I had to fly back down and retrieve my husband after two weeks. I asked to have my deposit returned and was told no. The owner appeared and was condescending and denied my concerns.There was no medical transcripts offered, even though I was told there were doctors monitoring the patients daily. This is a bad place to put your family member. .

We are so blessed to find an amazing home for my parents. They are surrounded by angels. There is nothing to compare the feeling and knowing they are being cared for by such amazing people.

Just took a tour of CasaMar for my mother. I was extremely impressed with how beautiful and clean the house is. Very quiet area and nice ocean view. They offered a lot of different floor plans and the master suite was incredible. Pricing was a lot more affordable than everywhere else we’ve checked in San Diego.
