Clothing

Loose comfortable clothing that is easy to put on and take off is ideal. Waistbands on pants may feel too loose or too tight and sometimes a tied waist offers a good solution. Shoes or slippers may need to be in larger sizes because of swelling of the feet. Sometimes people need to cut the back of their slippers out to make enough room for their heels. Shoes that can be put on without bending down are better than those that need to be tied. People should be offered clean, fresh clothing on a daily basis.
