Care Services
Personal Care
Personal Care are services that support personal hygiene and activities of daily living, including dressing, grooming, toileting, and more. At CIL our trained caregivers assist with personal care needs ranging from stand-by assistance to full care depending on each client’s individual needs.
This can include basic tasks, such as fall risk assessment and prevention, mobility and transfer assistance, bathing, incontinence, and toileting care, preparing and serving meals, to more hands-on personal care including position changes for those clients that are bedbound and specialized care for those with memory issues or cognitive impairments which include monitoring changes.
Personal home care services can also include assistance with community outings, social events, shopping trips, and other activities of interest to maintain engagement both physically and socially.
Our assessment team can develop a custom care plan for your loved one that includes physical safety and mental wellbeing. Our goal is to help our clients have the best quality of life while maintaining their independence at home.
Custom Service Plans can include :
Bathing and Hygiene
CIL strives to assist our clients with their personal care so they can look and feel their best at all times. Studies show undeniable benefits for seniors’ self-esteem and emotional fitness to have regular hygiene and grooming. We are here to help clients who fear falling while bathing or have limitations that make grooming tasks difficult.
These tasks may include:
Showing and bathing
Dressing for the day, including shoes and accessories (belt, watch, jewelry, etc.)
Brushing teeth or dentures
Styling and brushing hair
Makeup application
Shaving
With something like bathing, consistency is very important; being able to bathe daily, or near-daily, is essential to staying healthy. Health issues can be caused by a failure to wash frequently enough, yet senior bathing is a task that gets harder as the years pass.
Fall Prevention and Mobility Assistance
Avoid unnecessary risks in the bathroom and around the house. Bathroom features are not always designed with seniors in mind and can be a fall risk. This is especially true for surfaces that may be wet and slippery after a bath or shower. Reducing falls in the home is one of the top safety concerns that seniors and their families face.
Our Caregivers greatly reduce this risk by providing mobile assistance inside the home and helping to keep the home safe from fall risks. there are many benefits to having extra hands for mobility assistance around the house, including:
Less risk with trained help and a steady arm
Less temptation to skip out on housekeeping tasks or personal hygiene, like getting to the bathroom to bathe or getting around the kitchen for dinner
Companionship to help with a choice not only makes tasks easier to complete but also brings comfort just in having someone to talk to and socialize with.
