Personal Care for the Elderly

Everyone deserves to feel proud of their appearance. Personal care services help seniors keep up with their hygiene and complete daily tasks safely around their homes, so they can feel confident and retain their independence.

What is Personal Care for Seniors?

Personal care services help seniors move around their homes and take care of themselves safely. With personal care, family members can feel at peace knowing their loved one is well taken care of, while seniors are able to feel comfortable in their daily routines at home.

What Does Personal Care Include?

Our personal caregivers help seniors with: 

  • Transferring from bed to wheelchair
  • Assistance with walking and fall prevention
  • Bathing, grooming, and dressing
  • Toileting and incontinence care
  • Wellness monitoring and communication
  • Home safety monitoring

How Does Personal Care Help Seniors?

The inability to bathe, toilet, groom, and dress safely is a difficult challenge many seniors eventually have to face. Having personal care for the elderly at home allows an older adult to age with dignity while staying as safe and comfortable as possible.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), falls are the leading cause of injury and injury death in adults over the age of 65. Even though falls are common in this age group, they are preventable and do not have to be a normal part of aging.

One way to prevent falls is to have a caregiver that helps you or your loved one move around the house and complete daily tasks that might lead to a fall if attempted alone. Personal care for the elderly lets seniors and their family members relax knowing someone is always there to help out and make sure everything is okay.
