Here are some ways our quality home care services can help your loved one take care of themselves:
Bathing and showering
Bathing is a critical component of maintaining one's health but might become increasingly difficult as individuals age. Getting into and out of a bathtub, for example, can be very uncomfortable if you have arthritis or other joint discomforts. Slippery surfaces can also increase the probability of a fall. Visiting Angels of Westerville can assist your loved one while they bathe or shower.
Getting dressed
Another key part of personal hygiene is to wear clean clothing. Getting dressed becomes increasingly difficult for many seniors as they age. Furthermore, wearing dirty clothes might lead to skin infections. Our caregivers can assist your loved one by helping them in selecting an outfit that is clean, comfortable, and appropriate for the weather. We can also help with getting dressed to avoid injuries and difficulties.
Brushing their teeth
Brushing your teeth twice a day is essential for maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. Unfortunately, as people age, their hand dexterity declines and makes brushing more difficult than it used to be. That doesn't mean you should stop brushing your teeth! Visiting Angels of Westerville can remind your loved one to brush their teeth and assist them in brushing correctly.
Combing their hair
Many seniors discover that brushing their hair becomes more difficult as they become older. As a result, they may not always appear tidy and neat. Combing hair can also help prevent dandruff, which is common among seniors. Our caregivers can assist your loved one with combing their hair every morning before leaving the house. If your loved one's hair is getting too long, our caregivers can also take them to their favorite barbershop or salon for a haircut and remind them of their upcoming appointment.
