Personal Care & Daily Living Assistance

Personal care includes hands-on support with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as mobility, bathing, personal hygiene, dressing/grooming, and/or feeding. Performing ADLs is essential for maintaining health and quality of life.

Our nurses make a determination. Our Supervising Nurse regularly reviews care logs and monitors client health and well-being. If care needs change or escalate, one of our Registered Nurses will assess the client and update the care plan as appropriate.

There are many benefits from these services, including (i) maintaining personal hygiene and cleanliness, (ii) reducing the risk of falls or other incidents, (iii) ensuring safety, dignity, and comfort, (iv) reducing the risk of hospitalization/alternative living facilities, (v) preserving independence, and (vi) remaining at home.

Yes. Our caregivers are good at building relationships and navigating dementia. This requires a distinct skillset that does not necessarily lend itself to hands-on assistance with ADLs. As such, there are limitations regarding the ADLs that our caregivers can assist with, and we do not do physical transfers. If you are unsure whether we can provide a specific service, the best thing to do is call and ask us.

Yes. As long as there is a plan in place to ensure that all of the client’s care needs are satisfied, we can work with them. Creating such a plan will require the involvement of another care provider, and we can help facilitate this when needed. We also work with many clients in assisted living facilities, where personal care is performed by staff and our caregivers provide supplemental care to improve quality of life.
