July, 2024.-"They made new dresses for the old women and they are very happy about it. It was an idea of the seamstress and the management of the center", said Maria Elena Fernandez, one of those grateful for the strategies adopted at the Nuevitas Nursing Home to provide comfort and beauty to the elderly.
According to the seamstress and storekeeper, Mileidy Fabré Isaac, she made dresses taking into account that many of the elderly women residing there are bedridden and it is difficult for the patient's assistant to dress them in a skirt or pajamas and blouse.
"With those dresses they look very nice, although for those who prefer shorts I also make alterations to the clothing we have in the store."
"I am very grateful to have a barber who cuts our hair and shaves our beard, she doesn't let us get bearded or hairy", said the old man Salvador León Díaz who emphasizes how haircuts are also a reality at this institution.
While the skilled with scissors Yasnelis Villamonte La Cruz added: "I work every day from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and everyone is happy with the services I offer".
In the same way, the podiatry service is also provided by Dayismay Díaz Almaraled, a young rehabilitation professional.
"I come every Thursday to perform the proper trimming of the old people' fingernails and toenails and they are very happy."
The elderly who attend or reside at the Nursing Home, in Nuevitas, get benefits from the attentions of those who strive to give them the love they professed years ago to build the current Cuban society.
