Hygiene Assistance
Hygiene Assistance
Hygiene assistance is one of the most important elements of home care in certain situations. Bath time can be really challenging for family members to go through on their own. That’s especially going to be the case when the facilities at that house are not necessarily equipped to help bathe someone. We want to walk through what we can do to help in these situations. What we also want to do is talk about some of the common questions that we get surrounding this service. Particularly when it comes to the bathrooms that are available within a home.
Can You Help Bathe My Family Member Even in Inadequate Facilities?
The short answer is yes, but at the same time, we have to be honest and realize that each situation is going to be unique. We can say yes, though, because we’re committed to finding a way that works in that situation. Let’s say that we’re dealing with a really small shower area and a person with very limited mobility. Maybe we’re going to have to find ways to get a tub in there and make the process easier. It can be a portable tub; it doesn’t have to lead to a major remodeling project. Our commitment in these situations is to find those solutions.
Scheduling This Specific Service
If you’re not looking for a personal care service from our staff but you do want occasional hygiene assistance, this is one of those services that can be a bit of a stand-alone option. Also, keep in mind that we don’t just offer bathing and showering assistance as part of this service. We can also help with dress and grooming needs, which can be difficult for some people in certain situations.
Part of a Regular Routine
There are two things that we want to cover here; as we mentioned, you don’t have to book other services from us to be able to get our staff to come by and provide shower assistance service. What we can do is have that as a scheduled service, so maybe we’ll be stopping by multiple times a week. At the same time, if you do want to book a more extensive personal care service, this is certainly an add-on that we’re going to be able to provide. In fact, it’s very important to keep people clean, especially if we’re helping with an incontinence care situation.
How Safe Are These Procedures?
As we mentioned, our goal is to be able to make them as safe as they can be. We understand that people have valid concerns on this matter. We’re only going to be sending fully qualified staff members to provide this particular service. That’s one of the things that you can be completely sure about. What we also want to do is walk through some of the options that we may have available when we’re dealing with a shower that isn’t built to be able to make these procedures easier. Working with professionals on this is something that we definitely suggest that you do.
