Dressing Tips for Elderly Independent Living
- Sit for dressing.
- Have clothes within arms reach.
- You may even want to organize your clothing the night before.
- Dress your lower body first, as this requires the most energy expenditure.
- Don yourunderpants and slacks or shorts while sitting and then stand to pull both up simultaneously to avoid extra standing.
- Avoid bending as much as possible, as this will make it harder to breathe. Bring your feet UP rather than bending.
- Use a reacher if you have one.
