Bathing and Grooming Assistance
As a core part of our personal care services, our caregivers focus on personal hygiene not only for maintaining health but to promote self-esteem. Our home health aides assist with bathing, showering, hair care, and all related personal care activities.
These services include:
- Helping patients get in and out of the shower safely.
- Washing, shampooing, and conditioning hair.
- Maintaining an established skin care and moisturizing regimen.
- Following a personalized oral hygiene and dental care schedule.
- Shaving and trimming facial hair (where applicable).
Mobility and Transferring
For our seniors, a leading cause of injury is falling. Other clients may need assistance with moving due to their health conditions.
We train our skilled caregivers in safe mobility and transfer techniques to prevent dangerous accidents.
A caregiver’s goal is to keep our clients safely mobile, independent, and active to help improve their physical health. Our team may help with the following:
- Helping with ambulation (walking) stability.
- Performing safe patient transfers, such as transferring from the bed to the chair.
- Encouraging prescribed exercises to keep active.
- Teaching how to properly use mobility aids (walkers, wheelchairs, canes) for guidance.
Dressing Assistance
Some clients might be embarrassed for needing help with getting dressed. Our caregivers provide support in a discreet and dignified manner that respects our clients’ privacy.
The caregivers also value our clients’ clothing preferences and style sense, helping them maintain their fashion identity.
This support includes:
- Offering clients direct assistance with putting on and taking off clothes.
- Suggesting clothing items with adaptive features like waistbands or Velcro fasteners.
- Encouraging clients to dress themselves to reinforce their independence.
Our caregivers ensure dignity and comfort, so clients aren’t afraid to ask for help.
Toileting & Continence Care
Services surrounding toileting and continence care can be a highly sensitive and private issue for many of our clients.
Our caregivers offer assistance with our clients’ dignity and decorum to ensure their comfort and boundaries.
These services include:
- Performing clothing changes when needed.
- Keeping clients’ skin clean and dry to avoid irritation.
- Assisting with standing up and sitting down and helping clients maintain balance while in the bathroom.
- Reminding clients to use the bathroom.
In-Home Respite Care
Family caregivers have exhausting roles, especially if they’re also balancing caregiving duties with a job and family. They need breaks to unwind.
Our respite care services offer you guilt-free, temporary relief from stressful responsibilities of looking after a loved one day-in and day-out.
Medication Reminders
It’s vital for our clients to take their medications on time. Not taking medications in the correct manner can create negative health outcomes.
Our caregivers gently remind clients to take their medications. They also help with organizing and opening pillboxes, and managing the overall medication schedule.
Light Housekeeping
A clean environment directly contributes to our clients mental health and physical safety.
As a part of our personal care services, our caregivers assist with light housekeeping activities to maintain a comfortable, healthy, and organized home environment. Our team helps with:
- Wiping counters and surfaces.
- Vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping floors.
- Dusting and tidying out common rooms.
- Taking out the garbage.
- Basic pet care (feeding, watering).
Meal Preparation and Nutrition
Cooking a meal, let alone making sure it’s nutritious, can be challenging. Some of our clients may not have the mobility to stay in the kitchen for long. Others may not be able to focus long enough on learning how to prepare nutritious meals.
Our home health aides assist with meal planning and home-cooked meals tailored to your loved one’s dietary requirements. Our companionship during meals can also forge strong bonds with patients.
