How Our Personal Care in Matthews Makes Bathing Safer
When elderly adults begin to experience mobility limitations, a loss of coordination, and cognitive decline, many activities of daily living can become more difficult and even more dangerous. Bathing is one of these essential activities. Fortunately, changes in your loved one's ability to bathe on their own don't have to result in a change in their living environment. Whether they currently reside in Matthews or a community in the surrounding area, they can enjoy compassionate assistance from one of our home care providers at Visiting Angels® Charlotte.
Personal Care Reduces the Challenges Associated With Bathing
When it comes to sensitive routines such as bathing, many elderly adults are hesitant to reach out for help. Some fear they will lose their autonomy by asking for assistance, while others are concerned about their privacy and dignity. Our team of compassionate caregivers can relieve both of these concerns while enabling elderly adults to complete bathing-related tasks in a secure and comfortable manner. Below are some of the many ways we reduce the challenges that seniors face in the area of bathing:
- Recommendations for home modifications. We can point out small renovations that can make your loved one's experience of bathing safer and easier, from grab bars to seating and anti-slip mats. Our in-depth understanding of fall prevention enables us to provide a thorough assessment of fall risks and suggest simple measures that your family can take to make this area of your loved one's home safer.
- Direct assistance with the process of bathing. Our caregivers are also available to offer physical support for the many steps of the bathing process, from entering the tub to toweling off. Your loved one will enjoy a greater sense of confidence when they have a helping hand and will be able to more thoroughly bathe with the assistance of a senior care professional.
- A focus on the senior's dignity and comfort. We treat seniors with nothing less than the utmost respect, protecting their dignity and privacy and helping preserve their autonomy as we assist them with activities of daily living such as bathing.
