EXPERTS IN PERSONAL SUPPORT FOR THE ELDERLY
Several factors may impede our ability to effectively care for ourselves as we get older. A loss of dexterity may make simple things like brushing one’s hair difficult. Arthritis in the hands can make buttoning a shirt a painful task. We may even forget the basics of hygiene if we suffer from dementia. In turn, not being able to accomplish these tasks affects our ability to remain independent, and can even lower our level of self-esteem. As such, AFFORDABLE HOME CARE SOLUTIONS Caregivers offers professional assistance to reduce the stress of performing basic hygiene.
We believe that having a caregiver to perform these tasks on a regular or even semi-regular basis can bring a huge relief to some elderly. Our caregivers are well trained in helping our clients get dressed so they may be allowed to leave the house or join in activities that bring joy to a normally quiet week. We also assist them with a warm bath to elevate their mood, improve their sleep, and overall comfort level. Independence, dignity, comfort – these are all the key areas of focus when thinking about whether or not you or your loved one needs in-home care.Personal care services include some of the most intimate services we provide.
