Personal Care in Seguin: How We Help with Bathing

Seniors often suffer from dangerous falls in which they can break bones and sustain other injuries that permanently alter their quality of life. Since many of these accidents happen in the shower or tub, bathing assistance can make a huge difference to your loved one's home safety. With our personal care for seniors in the Seguin area, Visiting Angels^® New Braunfels provides compassionate and sensitive support to assist with safe bathing and helps your loved one continue to age in place. 

With support from a qualified senior care professional, we can help your loved one safely enter and exit the shower or tub and cut down on potential household falls. By offering a reliable and trustworthy helping hand while remaining respectful of their privacy, we can create the safe home environment your loved one deserves. 

The Importance of Bathing Support

While many seniors may be resistant to the idea of having direct support in such a private area of their daily life, it's important to realize how beneficial this support can be. Here are some of the reasons to secure our personal care and provide your loved one in Seguin with one-on-one bathing support:

• Safety. Simply put, the shower and tub are extremely dangerous areas for many seniors. It is important to realistically assess their physical limitations, and if needed, convince your loved one they need extra support. 
• Mobility. In addition to the safety concerns, many seniors struggle with mobility. This can prevent them from bathing properly, as they avoid movements that aren't comfortable. With our assistance, they can properly carry out this essential daily task with total comfort and peace of mind. 
• Dignity. By helping your loved one keep up with consistent bathing, we can help them retain a more dignified quality of life. This will help to reduce depression symptoms, increase their self-confidence, and make it more comfortable for them to meet with friends and family. 
• Health. Regular bathing also has a positive impact on your loved one's overall health. It can help maintain or improve your loved one's skin health, cardiovascular health, and even help them avoid urinary tract infections, or UTIs.

Receiving Assistance From a Trustworthy and Respectful Caregiver

When considering personal care for your loved one, it is imperative that you find a caregiver both of you can trust. Our team at Visiting Angels New Braunfels consists of local owners, staff members, and caregivers who are passionate about in-home elderly care in the Seguin area.

We all work together to meet the needs of our clients and ensure their home life is safe, comfortable, and fulfilling. We have carefully selected each of our employees to create a team you can trust with your loved one's care.

Our thorough hiring process allows us to select local caregivers who match our high standards for caregiving. This process includes in-person interviews, a criminal background check, and reference checks. We want to hire caregivers who are knowledgeable, compassionate, and hard-working. Once we have hired a caregiver, we put them through our orientation program and encourage them to continue their training and education to better serve our clients.

To give you even more peace of mind, we take great care in pairing our clients and caregivers. Your loved one will initially be paired with a caregiver who closely matches their care needs, scheduling requirements, and personality. We want our clients to feel well cared for, safe, and comfortable receiving care from their caregivers.
