For many people day-to-day tasks can become overly strenuous and cause frustration or even injury. But there is no need struggle alone. Personal Assistance services could give
Extra help, At AntodalacareLLC, we work with clients and families to rediscover and continue independent life at home.
What are personal Assistance Services?
Most of us will reach a point where our once simple morning rituals become more challenging than we’d like. Day-to day activities like showering or dressing may become exhausting to the point that you may have to abandon them altogether.
Feeling in control of your personal hygiene and appearance is critical to self-esteem and confidence. While family members may be able to help in the short-term it is rarely an arrangement that can keep everybody happy and healthy in the long run. This is where professional personal care services come in.
Personal care services cover all facets of living at home, including everything from general assistance to more complex needs.
What could these services involve?
These services may include but are not limited to:
- Companionship Services
- Respite Care Services
- Medication Pick Up & Reminders
- Personal Care Services
- Transitional Care (Home from the hospital)
- One-Hour Check in Visits
- Dressing and undressing
- General mobility
What are the time Frames for Personal Services
Personal care services are not always permanent arrangements. A great example of a more temporary arrangement is post-injury or surgery services. If an otherwise mobile relative or loved one happens to have a fall and you aren’t able to supply full time care during the recovery process, a respite care can provide that extra peace of mind until they’re back on their feet.
What are the benefits of Personal Assistance Services?
Perhaps the most important aspect of personal care is the impact that it can have on a care recipient’s wellbeing. It can be an upsetting realization that we might need a little support to manage a basic need, but it is often liberating once put in place.
Increased self-esteem
As our clients begin to accept having somebody around to assist at this vital and private start of their day, we see renewed self-esteem. Clients who have recently taken on personal care services approach social encounters withenthusiasm, confident that their basic needs are again being looked after.
More social interaction
From a social perspective we often also see additional positives in the client’s connection with our cares. As the first and last person they will see in the day clients often form a great bond with their cares and enjoy the encounters every day.
To encourage this we always look to match complementary personalities.
When plans are appropriately put in place the increased confidence and reduced isolation have a flow-on effect to all facets of client health and well-being, which is shared by once-concerned family.
