What's Involved in our Personal Care
 |
CarePlus Caregivers go beyond basic companionship and homemaking services to provide sensitive, personal care services while maintaining patient dignity and respect. It's not always easy for older people or disabled people to accept personal care, so it is essential that they have a warm relationship with their Caregiver, built on trust and genuine affection |
Getting Out of Bed
With our help, clients are protected from injury. Proper use of body mechanics will reduce stress and strain on body structures. This increases safety for the caregiver and client alike. Bathing or Showering Assistance
During hygienic care, the caregiver incorporates other activities such as communication, physical assessment, skin and wound care, assessment of self-care abilities, and range of motion exercises. The caregiver provides hygienic care based on the client’s needs and preferences, with much consideration given to cultural and developmental factors.
