As we age, our abilities can change; there are often physical, mental, emotional, and social health impacts that can take a toll on our ability to care for ourselves. One thing that seniors may struggle with is keeping up with their personal hygiene. This can be caused by a variety of factors, such as limited mobility, trouble remembering to shower or brush their teeth, or fear of slipping and falling on bathroom tile. You may decide to help your loved one maintain their personal hygiene, but if you have other priorities in your life, you may not always be able to provide the support you need or burn yourself out trying to do so.

How Seniors in Tucker, GA and Nearby Areas Benefit from Home Care Assistance from Visiting Angels

Family caregivers might be especially challenged by providing personal hygiene assistance to a loved one. Not only does caring for a loved one require family caregivers to juggle numerous responsibilities so they have the time to provide this level of care, but personal hygiene is one of many things that seniors may feel embarrassed about when they need someone to help them. That's why in many cases, families look into options for professional home care assistance when a senior loved one has trouble with bathing and showering on their own, taking care of their hair and teeth, or starts wearing the same outfit for multiple days in a row.

Your loved one’s health and well-being can be highly influenced by their ability to maintain their personal hygiene. Certain health conditions can develop if one does not bathe adequately, and since seniors often experience a deterioration in their immune systems as they get older, this could lead to major health issues. In addition, not feeling clean can negatively impact your loved one's comfort and self-confidence. They may not feel like going out often, which could cause them to isolate themselves.

If you're looking for an experienced and compassionate senior care provider, choose Visiting Angels of Tucker. When it comes to personal care, privacy, and dignity are our priority, and our experienced caregivers have the expertise your family can rely on. Your loved one might feel embarrassed by a family member helping with intimate tasks; with a caregiver, your loved one can maintain their privacy easily while getting the assistance they need.
