Senior & Elderly Personal Care Services

Senior & Elderly Personal Care Services

Home Instead offers personal care for elderly people and those with chronic health conditions, enabling older adults to live more dignified lives at home and while easing the burden for loved ones. Personal care for seniors is often a difficult topic to bring up, though, even for family members who are dealing with it every day. Family caregivers also often find fewer and fewer opportunities for quality time with their aging loved ones as a result. Living conditions might also not be as safe and hygienic as they should be when family members aren’t able to be there around the clock. This is exactly where Home Instead can step in to help. Home Instead’s team of trained, screened and bonded CAREGivers provide discrete senior personal care services in the home with a sense of compassion for older adults.

Types of Personal Care Assistance

Personal senior care may include a wide range of different services that can be combined, customized, and re-evaluated over time depending on the needs of the individual and their family. The goal is to allow older adults and couples to remain in the dignity and comfort of a familiar home environment for as long as possible while easing the burden for family members and providing more opportunities for quality time. Professional personal care services also ensure a safer and more hygienic home environment. Home Instead offers the following types of personal care for older adults:

• Bathing – Reduce the risks of slips and falls while maintaining a healthy routine with bathing assistance.
  
  
• Bathroom Assistance – Allow a trained professional to provide discrete assistance for aging loved ones struggling to use the toilet on their own.
  
  
• Dressing – Everyday tasks like buttoning a shirt can become more difficult as people age, but a CAREGiver can help.
  
  
• Getting in and out of Bed – Family members can’t always be there every time their loved one needs to get in or out of bed, but Home Instead can be.
  
  
• Grooming – Grooming tasks often become more difficult as people age, but our CAREGivers help seniors continue taking pride in their appearance.  
  
  
• Mobility – This type of service might include help moving around in the home and walking around in the community, as well as transportation services.
  
  
• Sitting and Rising – If your loved one is now struggling to sit and rise, Home Instead’s team of CAREGivers can help with a friendly and personal touch.

Each CAREGiver is also bonded for added security and empowered to be more of a personal companion for the elderly rather than a mere service provider.
