Helping Seniors with Personal Hygiene Practices

helping-seniors-with-personal-hygiene-practices

Maintaining good personal hygiene is essential at any point in life, even more so that we are still in the middle of a global health pandemic. But for most seniors, especially with impaired functionalities caused by health decline in aging, even the simplest act of handwashing can be challenging. For this reason and more, home care in Atlanta, Georgia, is deemed necessary more than ever.

Here at ROSEWOOD HOME CARE, we customize care plans that match seniors’ personal hygiene needs. Through this, we promote senior care and good hygiene among the elderly population. Without feeling invasive and humiliating, we can help seniors with various hygiene tasks while still promoting independence and dignity.

  • Bathing/showering
    Since the bathroom can be a dangerous place for seniors due to the slippery areas, tight space, etc., implementing bathing safety precautions and having a professional caregiver to help out with bathing or showering is one way to ensure safety in bathrooms.
  • Dental care
    Certain medical conditions in old age make brushing or flossing teeth challenging and even impossible to perform. Through the personal care services of a non-medical home care in Georgia, it helps seniors maintain good oral health.
  • Incontinence care
    Health issues like Alzheimer’s disease can cause urinary incontinence. To help those struggling with incontinence, we have incontinence care assistance that helps better manage and deal with incontinence.
  • Dressing and grooming
    Choosing clothes can be frustrating for seniors, and putting on clothes can also be a safety risk. Aside from that, other grooming tasks like hair brushing, skin and nail care can be addressed with personal home care services.

To learn more information about personal care services, don’t hesitate to reach out to us today.
