When personal routines become harder to manage because of aging, disability, reduced mobility, or changing daily needs, additional assistance at home may become necessary. This support is often relevant for adults and seniors who need help with aspects of their daily routine while continuing to participate in their own care as much as possible. Families in Hardy, Virginia, may consider this type of support when occasional assistance is no longer enough or when relatives cannot consistently help with daily personal needs. Care is provided with attention to the individual’s preferences, privacy, abilities, and level of participation.
How It Works
Support is centered on helping the client manage personal routines with the level of hands-on assistance appropriate to their abilities and daily needs:
- Transfer, positioning, and mobility assistance
- Bathing and showering assistance
- Restroom-use assistance
- Personal hygiene assistance
- Dressing assistance
- Personal appearance and grooming care
- Mealtime and feeding assistance
- Patient advocacy and communication of client needs
- Reinforcement of physical therapy routines as directed by the appropriate healthcare professional
- Alzheimer’s and dementia care
- Medication reminders
- Documentation and reporting to the supervising RN
What to Expect
Personal care is arranged around the individual’s routine and the areas where assistance is needed. During visits, the caregiver provides hands-on support while allowing the client to participate in tasks they can manage independently and maintaining appropriate privacy during personal routines. Service-related observations and concerns may be documented and reported to the supervising RN when applicable, particularly when there are changes that may require attention.
