Personal Care
Premier personal care services for seniors
Seniors often require assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and dressing. Professional in-home caregivers from Assisting Hands Home Care Milwaukee are trained to provide personal care services that help seniors maintain their independence and quality of life while remaining safe in the comfort of home. Here’s why personal care is so beneficial for seniors.
Select the Care You Need
Bathing
Bathing can be difficult for some seniors due to decreased mobility, balance issues, or even a fear of slipping or falling in the shower. A professional caregiver can provide support through physical guidance, transferring into and out of the tub or shower safely, and by helping with grooming tasks that many seniors find challenging. This type of assistance can ensure seniors stay clean without fear or injury and with a sense of dignity.
Dressing
Seniors who are no longer able to dress independently may benefit from the assistance of a professional caregiver. In addition to helping seniors select appropriate clothing, our caregivers also assist with putting on items like shoes, socks, and jackets. Assisting Hands caregivers provide physical guidance to prevent slipping or falling while dressing, as well as emotional support if needed.

Toileting
Another challenge many seniors face is using the bathroom safely and comfortably. Our trusted caregivers can assist with tasks such as transferring from a wheelchair to the toilet, changing adult incontinence products when necessary, providing reminders to use the restroom regularly, and offering physical and emotional support.
Meal Preparation
At Assisting Hands Home Care, our caregivers can also help with meal preparation by shopping for groceries, suggesting healthy recipes, preparing meals according to dietary restrictions, and providing companionship during mealtimes. Eating nutritious food helps older adults maintain overall wellness and can prevent obesity and malnutrition.
