What are Personal Assistance Services?

Personal Hygiene Assistance

Maintaining personal hygiene is essential not only for physical health, but also for self-esteem and emotional well-being. Our caregivers provide respectful, hands-on assistance tailored to each client’s needs and comfort level.

Services may include:

  • Assistance with bathing and showering

  • Bed baths and sponge baths

  • Toileting and incontinence care

  • Perineal care

  • Dressing and undressing

  • Grooming (hair care, shaving, oral hygiene)

  • Skin care and application of lotions or prescribed topical products

  • Assistance with hearing aids, glasses, and dentures

  • Mobility assistance for safe transfers in and out of bed, chairs, or showers

Before beginning services, we conduct a thorough in-home assessment to identify potential safety concerns and recommend adjustments to reduce fall risks and enhance comfort. Our goal is always to promote independence where possible while ensuring safety and dignity.

Personal Care Support & Mobility Assistance

Maintaining mobility plays a crucial role in preventing injuries and supporting overall health. Our caregivers assist with:

  • Safe transfers (bed to chair, wheelchair, toilet, etc.)

  • Ambulation and walking support

  • Positioning and repositioning to prevent pressure injuries

  • Range-of-motion support as directed

  • Assistance with mobility devices such as walkers or wheelchairs

We encourage as much independence as possible while offering steady support to reduce fall risks and build confidence.

Wellness Visits & Monitoring

Our wellness visits provide reassurance and proactive support for both clients and families. These visits are especially helpful for individuals living alone or those recovering from illness or surgery.

During wellness visits, we may:

  • Monitor general health and observe for changes

  • Provide medication reminders

  • Encourage hydration and nutrition

  • Report concerns promptly to family members

  • Provide companionship and social engagement

Early observation of subtle changes can help prevent complications and provide families with peace of mind.
