PERSONAL CARE

Personal care is a personalized approach designed to cater to the distinct needs and routines of each individual. It is vital in safeguarding a person's dignity, health, and overall well-being. As individuals progress through the stages of aging, the significance of personal care becomes even more pronounced, especially when they face challenges in managing everyday tasks.

Personal care aides are dedicated professionals who provide essential support to clients by assisting them with various daily living activities. These aides are particularly valuable for those who live with disabilities or chronic illnesses, ensuring that they receive the help they need to maintain their independence. The concept of personal care involves not just assistance but also supervision with daily tasks and personal hygiene. This can encompass a wide array of services, including but not limited to:

  • Assistance with daily activities like eating, dressing, bathing and using the toilet

  • Helping with instrumental tasks like meal preparation, shopping, and paying bills

  • Light housekeeping, such as cleaning, dusting, and laundry

  • Transportation to appointments or errands

  • Companionship, such as playing games or sharing meals

  • Medication reminders

  • Respite care for family caregivers
