Skin Care

At Eastern Health Long-Term Care, we have practices to help us assess resident’s skin and associated care needs on a regular basis.

These may include:

• • Risk assessments on admission and at routine intervals;
  • Daily skin inspections;
  • Skin care including: turning, repositioning and using moisturizers and protective creams;
  • Specialized equipment and more frequent assessments by the care team if you are high risk;
  • Nutrition assessments by a registered dietitian;
  • Consultation by the Clinical Nurse Specialist as an expert in wound prevention/management as required.
