Personal Care Services in Summit, NJ

Helping Seniors Maintain Independence at Home

Being able to complete activities for daily living (ADL’s) is crucial towards remaining independent at home. However, recognizing the need for this type of personal care and accepting it can be hard for seniors and adults, especially if it means threatening their independence. That’s why a Home Helpers personal care assistant is trained to provide these services with respect and courtesy to your loved one’s needs and feelings. Our Caregivers understand the importance of maintaining independence and work to preserve it while providing the necessary assistance with ADL’s.

Maintaining Hygiene and Reducing Risk of Illness

Tasks that help seniors and adults maintain their hygiene are essential for reducing the risk of illness and maintaining mental health. This includes assistance with brushing teeth, bathing, or using the bathroom. Our personal care assistants are trained to make this experience as comfortable and safe as possible. We understand that maintaining dignity is crucial for our clients and strive to preserve it, without impacting relationships within the family. Our goal is to put the client in control and help them feel empowered, rather than feeling like they are losing their independence.

Improving Mobility and Quality of Life

Movement is vital for your senior’s health. It helps with blood flow and muscle stiffness, which in turn can reduce the risk of falling. It also aids in their quality of life as mobility fosters a sense of independence and allows seniors to continue to do the activities they love. Our personal care assistants can assist with activities such as walking, transferring from room to room, and navigating tricky areas like stairs. We can also provide recommendations on how to set up the home to best suit your senior’s level of mobility.

Direct Link® Monitoring for Added Safety

In addition to our personal care services, Home Helpers also offers Direct Link® monitoring services. This technology can help detect falls and contact emergency services when needed, providing an added layer of safety for your senior loved one. Our Caregivers are trained to use this technology and can show you how it works during your free In-Home Care Assessment. Sign up for a free In-Home Care Assessment to learn more about Home Helper’s personal care services. We will evaluate your senior loved one and create a custom Care Plan to meet their specific needs.
