Hygiene Assistance

Hygiene Assistance

Hygiene issues are one of the more complex situations to deal with, particularly with senior citizens. They tend to be one of the main reasons why people get sent to retirement homes. Having to clean up after elderly citizens can take quite a toll on the caregiver. We employ a team of expert caregivers who are trained to deal with these situations. They can make showering and bathing a much safer experience for anyone with mobility issues. Dressing and grooming assistance is also part of this specific service that we provide.

Hygiene Assistance Can Be Part of The Caregiving Experience
As we mentioned, hygiene assistance is one of the main reasons why people will seek out our services. The first thing that we want to say is that it’s a good idea to make the call early in the process. Are you having trouble bathing your loved one? Then don’t hesitate to make the call to us. A lot of the worst injuries that can cause major issues for older people happen in the bathroom. They happen because of a lack of experience on the part of someone who is bathing them or because the senior citizen is no longer capable of fulfilling basic hygiene practices.  

The Main Advantage of Having Professionals on the Job
Even if you feel strong enough to be able to lift your loved one and put them in the shower, there could be different things that occur that can put both of you in danger. It’s always safer to have someone with experience on hand. When it comes to other hygiene needs like bathroom assistance, there are unique elements of the process that you may not be aware of. Incontinence care can be very rough because of the mess that can ensue. If you’re going through these situations and need extra help, don’t hesitate to call.  

Light Laundry Work Provided by Our Staff
Speaking of the mess that can take place in these situations, that’s one of the main reasons why we offer housekeeping work as part of our services. We may need to be doing plenty of laundry in certain cases. Many people can grow frustrated when they find themselves having to constantly clean up after their loved ones. It’s our intention to be able to provide a helping hand in these situations to make the whole experience a bit more bearable.

Requesting Gender Specific Caregivers
Some people may feel uncomfortable receiving bathing & showering assistance from a person who is not of their same gender. The same thing can be true about dress & grooming assistance. We’re certainly an equal-opportunity employer. In fact, we heavily benefit from the fact that we employ people from all walks of life. At the same time, we understand that some of the people that we are providing care for may feel uncomfortable in certain situations. It’s our goal to ensure that this is not the case. On the contrary, we want to be able to create a safe environment for them.
