Personal Care Services
Personal care services are just as they seem, they are very personal for our clients and their families. Helping a loved one with bathing or toileting can be extremely uncomfortable for our clients and the family member who is trying to assist. Some of our clients are very modest and it can be very distressing or embarrassing to ask a family member for help with Personal Care. Our professional caregivers are ready to assist with any of these individual and private matters, we are here to provide the essential aid and relief needed. When it comes to Personal Care, we want you to keep that feeling of dignity and respect while our Caregivers assist in those delicate everyday activities such as:
•Bathing
•Toileting
•Dressing
•Incontinence Care
•Grooming
•Personal Hygiene
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)?
Let’s consider activities of daily living (ADLs) as basically categorized self-care tasks, similar to the kinds of motor skills that we usually learned in early childhood. Most senior care providers and health professionals group the activities of daily living into the following six categories:
Bathing: consists of grooming tasks such as brushing teeth, shaving and brushing hair
Dressing: choosing garments that are appropriate. Capable of dressing and undressing. Zippers, buttons, or other fasteners are easily managed
Eating: feeding oneself
Transferring: able to walk independently, or, if not ambulatory, being able to transfer oneself from wheelchair to bed and back
Continence: able to control bowels and bladder, or is able to manage incontinence independently
Toileting: capable of using the toilet
What are instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs)?
Complex skills called Instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) are needed in order to continue to live independently. Usually, these are learned during our teenage years and include:
Telephone use: capable of dialing numbers, looking up numbers, etc.
Medication management: taking the correct dosages of medications on time
Preparing meals: making appropriate food choices and preparing meals safely
Caring for the home: performing housekeeping and laundry duties or arranging for services
Managing finances: difficulty paying bills on time, paying mortgage/rent, budgeting, etc.
Shopping: not being able to grocery shop or shop for other necessities. Able to manage transportation of purchases from the store to their home
Using transportation: being able to drive or use public transportation for appointments, shopping, etc.
