The Importance of Personal Care Services for Seniors and Adults in Boise

How a Personal Care Assistant from Home Helpers Can Help Maintain Independence

For seniors and adults, being able to complete their daily activities is crucial for maintaining independence at home. However, recognizing the need for personal care services and accepting help can be difficult. That’s why our trained personal care assistants at Home Helpers® Home Care in Boise, ID provide these services with respect and courtesy to your loved one’s needs and feelings. We understand the importance of preserving one’s independence and strive to assist with activities of daily living (ADLs) in a way that maintains dignity and promotes a positive relationship with family members.

Maintaining Hygiene for Better Health

Personal care services from a Home Helpers assistant can also help seniors and adults maintain their hygiene to reduce the risk of illness and maintain mental health. This includes assistance with tasks such as brushing teeth, bathing, and using the bathroom. Our goal is to make these experiences as comfortable and safe as possible, while also preserving the client’s dignity and sense of control. Our personal care assistants are trained to provide these services in a respectful and compassionate manner, so your loved one can feel comfortable and confident.

Promoting Mobility and Independence

Movement is key to maintaining good physical and mental health for seniors and adults. It helps with blood flow, muscle stiffness, and can reduce the risk of falling. Our personal care assistants can assist with mobility by providing support as seniors move from room to room, going on walks, and navigating tricky areas such as stairs. We can also provide recommendations on home modifications to make the living space more accessible and safe for their level of mobility. By promoting movement and independence, we strive to improve the quality of life for our clients.

Direct Link® Monitoring Services for Added Safety

In addition to personal care services, Home Helpers also offers Direct Link® monitoring services. This system can help detect falls and automatically contact emergency services when needed. This added safety feature provides peace of mind for family members and allows seniors to continue living independently in their own homes.

We understand that every individual has unique needs, which is why we offer a free In-Home Care Assessment to evaluate your senior loved one and create a customized Care Plan. Our personal care services are designed to help seniors and adults in Boise maintain their independence and improve their overall quality of life.
