Clients Safety Top Priority

Our highest promise of guarantee is assessing and making sure clients are safe in their own homes. Our staff are trained to provide the supervision, identify safety hazards, and eliminate fall risk to your loved ones.

 

Hygiene, Bathing Personalized To Each Client

Personal assistance to our valued clients on routine bases so they feel and look their very best. Regular routines for seniors is important because it reduces wounds, and UTI’s (urinary tract infections) that can be attributed to lack of hygiene and grooming routines. One of the biggest fears a senior can have is the fear of falling in the shower. Our caregivers assist them with getting in/out of the shower and cleaning or queuing the clients on showering steps. By having the standby assist this eliminates the fear of falling, which ensures safety in the home.

 

Dementia/Alzheimers Clients

One of the greatest challenges family/caregivers face is not knowing how much assistance to give or when to give it because the person with early-stage dementia is primarily independent with dressing, bathing, walking and may still drive, volunteer or work. Difficult tasks may involve managing a daily schedule or household budget.

Support for these everyday tasks can help the person with dementia develop new coping strategies that will help to maximize independence. The key to success is finding a balance between interdependence and independence may increase confidence for your loved ones.

Ways to determine when and even how to provide the most appropriate support to individuals living in the early stage of dementia consider these tips:

• Safety First: Is any immediate safety risk involved for the person with dementia to perform this task alone? If there is no immediate risk of injury or harm, provide encouragement and continue to provide supervision.
• Avoid Undo Stress/Hardship: Prioritize tasks that do not cause unnecessary stress for the person with Dementia/Alzheimer. Being proactive versus reactive is always a more successful approach for your loved ones and reduces stress.
• Meaningful activities: Pictures and discussions about a senior’s past focuses on their life and their accomplishments. Music is always a wonderful activity to chose from their generation that can help bring back the magic of the moments in their life.
• Keeping active: Essential activities to keep seniors active, this can compose of walking, water aerobics, yoga, Tai chi, massage, physical therapy, art classes, senior centers, etc.

Meal Prep and Planning

Proper nutrition is important to keep the body strong and healthy. For every individual person including Alzheimer's or dementia, poor nutrition may increase behavioral symptoms and cause weight loss. Our caregivers provide meal preparation and assist with feeding when needed to give the nutrients to our valued clients daily.

 

Transferring/Mobility/Positioning

Our caregivers are skilled in the art of transferring the client from bed/chair/or wheelchair. Proper safety techniques and movement is essential in care to lower the risk of bedsores, falls or injuries at the same time of keeping the clients we serve comfortable as possible.
