Personal care assistance for elderly people
Personal care assistance for elderly people: what is it?
For people with loss of autonomy, including elderly, ill, or disabled people, personal care assistance is an essential dimension of their well-being.
Whether it’s assistance with bathing, dressing, or even more delicate care such as intimate hygiene, our caregivers approach these responsibilities with a blend of professionalism and compassion.
Their goal is to respect the dignity and privacy of each individual, while providing care that helps maintain or improve their physical and emotional state.
How does bathing assistance work for people who need help?
Tasks during bathing assistance:
- Assistance with undressing
- Assistance with washing
- Support for showering and drying
- Grooming assistance (hair, makeup, shaving, etc.)
- Changing clothes if necessary
- Assistance with dressing
- Cleaning the bathroom after use
At the end of the service, the caregiver can record important information in the communication logbook for the family, particularly those requiring special attention or follow-up.
