Personal Care
Personal care refers to the assistance provided to individuals with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and using the bathroom. It may also include support with oral care (e.g., brushing teeth and dentures) and medication management. Personal care can be provided on a part-time or full-time basis, depending on the needs of the individual receiving care.
Personal care services are typically provided by caregivers who are trained to assist clients with their ADLs in a way that promotes their independence and dignity. They may also provide support with meal preparation and feeding, as well as transportation to appointments and other errands as needed.
Personal care can be an essential service for individuals who are unable to fully care for themselves due to a physical condition, disability, or the natural effects of aging. It can help to ensure that clients are able to maintain their personal hygiene and appearance and can provide peace of mind for their family members and loved ones.
Overall, personal care is an important resource for individuals who need extra support to maintain their independence and quality of life at home.
