Personal Care in Jacksonville: How We Help With Hygiene and Grooming
If a family member is struggling to handle day-to-day tasks, one of the first signs can be a decline in hygiene. Whether your loved one is dealing with mobility concerns, memory disorders, depression, or other challenges of aging, personal care can help ensure that hygiene and grooming are more manageable. At Visiting Angels® Jacksonville, we can provide that level of care and more.
Let's take a look at a few ways we can help.
How Our Personal Care Services Can Help
When it comes to hygiene and grooming, it's imperative that seniors have proper support for these tasks. That's why our agency is staffed by CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) and certified home health aides. Here are a few ways this kind of support can have an impact:
- We provide reminders. Not all seniors will need one-on-one assistance with hygiene and grooming. For some, particularly those struggling with memory disorders, depression, or other challenges, it may simply be difficult to remember to complete these tasks every day. This can still be a cause for concern, resulting in potential health complications. In these situations, our caregivers can offer regular reminders throughout the day, ensuring those tasks are completed.
- We assist with difficult tasks. For other seniors, reduced mobility and strength can make it dangerous to complete certain home care tasks without assistance. In these cases, seniors may put off these tasks for as long as possible, causing similar health concerns. Our CNAs can be an invaluable source of help here. We can help with daily grooming, toileting, and bathing, making sure these tasks can be completed safely and comfortably.
- We handle tasks with sensitivity. At Visiting Angels Jacksonville, we understand that many seniors struggle with the idea of personal care. Our home health aides and CNAs handle these tasks with the utmost sensitivity and compassion, offering seniors as much privacy and dignity as possible. We can also support seniors with dementia or other memory disorders, who may become uncooperative during grooming tasks.
