This personal assistance service is one that can be booked temporarily. After a surgery or just any type of incident, a person may need help moving from place to place around the house. We specialize in fall prevention procedures for these types of situations. In simple terms, one of our staff members will be on hand in these situations to help a senior citizen with their daily routine if they are currently having certain difficulties.
Without a doubt, this is one of the most challenging issues with personal care. When people need help to be able to bathe or are dealing with some type of incontinence situation, it’s always a good idea to have professional help around. Family members who have to step up and deal with these types of situations on their own can end up having a tough time, especially if many of these issues become permanent needs. Plus, bathing assistance provided by professionals is safer for everyone involved. The bathroom can be a very dangerous place. Things can get exponentially more difficult when someone doesn’t have the proper training to provide the assistance.
Daily Schedule & Planning Assistance
There are different things that can go into planning a day for the people that we care for. One of the biggest misconceptions about our services is that we have to remain within the confines of the home and have the people we care for live the same exact day over and over again. If the person’s health permits it we can create different plans for the day while sticking to schedule. This can help us keep track of any particular health needs, even if the day is a bit more active.
A good diet is always going to help restore or maintain a person’s health. Part of our personal assistance services is planning meals. There are different ways that we can fulfill this service. Sometimes, we’ll work hand in hand with household staff. In other situations, our team can help prepare the meals themselves. The goal is to ensure that the person we’re helping can get all of the right nutrients they need to remain in good health.
There are a lot of different things that can happen on a daily basis that could require our staff to do some light cleaning. We may have to do some light laundry work to make sure that clothes and bed linings are clean for the people we're taking care of. Our staff is qualified and willing to do some light housekeeping work to ensure that the home remains a clean and safe environment. The last thing that we want is for the bathroom, for example, to be filled with water. That can be dangerous for both our staff and the people around the house.
Is live-in care the best option for your loved ones? This is one of the possibilities that we offer as part of our service. There are instances where people only require personal assistance during the day. In other situations, live-in care is going to be the best option. We can take a look at your specific situation and help you decipher what the best course of action might be for your specific case.
We pride ourselves on being rather flexible with the services that we provide. Each person that we get a chance to care for will have specific needs and may be in a unique living situation as well. What we typically like to do is talk with the family to get a good sense of what they feel their needs might be. From there we can pair that with the services that we provide. Give us a call or contact us to get that process started.
