Personal Care to Promote Independence and Well-Being
Keeping up with personal needs can become more challenging as a person ages, and it can be difficult to ask for help. Our caregivers are available to support older adults with daily personal tasks through discreet personal care assistance that ensures each person is treated with respect and dignity.
What Are Personal Care Services?
Personal care services include tasks related to hygiene, grooming, mobility and movement, and more. Our focus is on empowering individuals to maintain as much independence as possible, while providing necessary support to ensure safety. These services can include any or all of the following:
- Bathing, showering, and getting dressed
- Shaving, skin care, styling hair, applying makeup
- Meal prep and assistance with eating as needed
- Using the bathroom
- Gentle exercise
- Mobility assistance to reduce fall risk
- Getting in and out of bed
- Sitting and standing
- Navigating stairs
Personal care services help older adults remain in their homes rather than moving to a nursing home or assisted living facility. This allows individuals to maintain a routine of their choosing and to live where they are comfortable and familiar.
Who Can Benefit from Personal Care at Home?
It’s common for people to feel more comfortable receiving support from a trained, experienced care professional when it comes to such highly personal services. This allows family members to step back from meeting care needs of a personal nature, while allowing older loved ones to maintain their privacy. Professional personal care services are ideal for anyone who needs assistance with daily activities and who values discretion.
How Do I Get Started With Personal Care Services?
We begin with an in-home consultation to learn more about the person in need of assistance, including their likes/dislikes, interests, hobbies, challenges, and more. This allows us to match just the right caregiver to the individual. Our team will then work with you and your family to develop a personalized plan of care. Care plans are continually monitored and adjusted to ensure just the right amount of support and assistance to help individuals maintain dignity, independence, and safety.
