The skin care of disabled elders living in nursing homes and adult congregate, subacute, and home health settings requires special effort and consideration. Practitioners who regularly assist elders in these situations may be unfamiliar with dermatology problems related to chronic disability. As the U.S. population ages, skin care in the elderly and disabled will continue to be a challenge. However, if the diseases and problems can be addressed in a knowledgeable and problem-oriented manner, treatment can be maximized.
对于生活在养老院、成人集体居住设施、亚急性护理机构和家庭健康护理环境中的残疾老年人，其皮肤护理需要付出特别的努力并加以考虑。经常在这些情况下协助老年人的从业者可能不熟悉与慢性残疾相关的皮肤病问题。随着美国人口老龄化，老年人和残疾人的皮肤护理将继续成为一项挑战。然而，如果能够以知识渊博且以问题为导向的方式来处理这些疾病和问题，治疗效果就能最大化。
