Personal Care Assistant
Personal care refers to needs that require a little more one-on-one attention. These are special needs that at times may not be easy to discuss: like toileting, incontinence care, bathing, assisting and putting on under garments. A trained personal care assistant can meet these needs with caring compassion. As a result, your loved one will experience more support, while remaining independent.
Because of the nature of this type of service, when a loved one needs personal care, the family may feel a bit uncomfortable or even embarrassed helping a parent or grandparent in the bathroom or shower. Your loved one may feel more comfortable if someone other than a family member assists them. Our care specialists respect the privacy and dignity of our clients.
Benefits of Personal Care
Having daily help from a personal care assistant in your loved one’s home allows them to remain independent, yet have assurance of help when they need it. Similarly, personal care can be less intrusive, and lower cost than assisted living. Finally, it allows your parents to age gracefully, knowing that they have someone during times of the day that they need them the most.
What does a Day with Personal Care Look Like?
Personal care can include any schedule; everything from once-a-day checkups, to full 24-hour assisted living. You and your loved one picks the schedule that works best. We provide a personal care assistant that can come at the time they are needed most.
A typical day may involve help with morning bathing, breakfast preparation and cleanup, followed by conversation together. Perhaps a walk together? Sure. And most importantly, if there are personal needs such as after-surgery care, toileting, or difficult body care needs, your personal care assistant is there.
