Personal Care Services: Maintaining Independence with Home Helpers in Portland, ME
Assisting Seniors and Adults with Activities for Daily Living (ADL’s) with Personal Care in Portland, ME and Surrounding Areas
Being able to complete activities for daily living (ADL’s) is crucial towards remaining independent at home. 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 personal care services are tailored to each individual’s needs, ensuring that they can maintain their independence and dignity.
Maintaining Hygiene for Physical and Mental Health
Tasks that help seniors and adults maintain their hygiene are important for reducing the risk of illness and maintaining mental health. This includes assistance with brushing teeth, bathing, or bathrooming (whether that means assisting them to the bathroom or helping them while they are in bed). Our goal at Home Helpers is to make this experience as comfortable and safe as possible. Our personal care assistant preserves the client’s dignity and does not impact relationships within the family. They put the client in control, so they don’t feel like they are losing their independence.
The Importance of Movement for Seniors’ Health
Movement is crucial for your senior’s health. It helps with blood flow and muscle stiffness, which can in turn help 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 assistant can help by assisting seniors as they move from room to room, going on walks, and aiding them when it comes to navigating tricky areas such as stairs. They can also provide recommendations on how to best set up the home for your senior’s level of mobility.
Direct Link® Monitoring Services for Added Peace of Mind
In addition to our personal care services, Home Helpers® Home Care also offers Direct Link® monitoring services. This can help detect falls and contact emergency services when needed. Our trained professionals can provide added peace of mind for both the client and their family members.
