How Our Personal Care in Anderson Makes Bathing Safer

Due to declining physical strength, mobility, and other factors, bathing can be a risky activity for many seniors. The slippery conditions and awkward movements create the potential for a dangerous fall, but with the right support, your loved one can bathe safely and continue living in their own private home. With our personal care for seniors in the Andreson area, Visiting Angels^® Redding provides support to assist with this risky yet essential activity. 

Our dedicated care providers offer a warm, caring, and compassionate presence in your loved one's home. We can assist with bathing and other daily activities to ensure a safe, comfortable, and dignified home life. We work hard to assist each senior as needed to avoid the move to a care facility and allow them to continue aging in place. 

The Importance of Bathing Support

Bathing is a very private activity, so we understand why many seniors are initially resistant to the idea of support from our caregivers. However, if your loved one is at risk of a dangerous fall, this support can be critical. Here are three reasons to convince your loved one in the Anderson area to accept our in-home personal care assistance:

• Safety. It's important to understand their limitations and provide the support they need to remain safe. A fall while entering or exiting the shower or tub can have serious consequences that permanently impact their quality of life. With our compassionate and sensitive assistance, we can reduce this risk and provide you and your loved one with peace of mind. 
• Mobility. In addition to the safety concerns, declining mobility can make it difficult for seniors to properly bathe themselves. With our help, they'll be able to carry out this essential daily task with comfort and ease. 
• Dignity. Seniors who are unable to safely and effectively bathe tend to avoid this activity. As their self-care deteriorates, they can become withdrawn and hesitant to spend time in public and with others. By providing them with a safe and comfortable opportunity to conduct daily bathing, we can help your loved one live with more dignity and confidence.
