Easy To Manage Daily Personal Needs With Respectful and Compassionate Personal Care

"Personal Care" seems to be subjective as we consider the term literally. Everyone has their own unique habits, hence these are personal traits. But as a person starts ageing and starts suffering from injury, illness or disability; then it's essential to develop the ability for feeling fresh and clean. After all, cleanliness and tidiness are not just a privilege, it's a fundamental right common to all, that is beneficial to our overall health and well-being. With a person ageing, when he/she feels clean, then he/she feels more confident and happier, particularly while heading out.

That is why having personal care from an in-home personal carer from ABC CARE makes a significant difference to the daily routine of the aged members. Because personal care is individual to everyone, so it's important that the aged members know they are in good hands by choosing ABC CARE. We sent respectful and gentle personal care service providers to work with the aged members and help them maintain their dignity. Our services are conducted in privacy with a great comfort degree. Our personal care services can even be a part of a wider package, else we can frame individual service plans that will be suitable to your needs.

  • Grooming

Grooming means providing personal care assistance to the aged members engaged in activities related to personal appearance. Our caregivers help with hair care, nail care, shaving and skincare. The overall goal is to ensure the individuals can maintain a personal hygiene level contributing to the overall well-being and dignity. Through our customized grooming services, our personal care workers are meeting the specific needs and preferences of the aged, thereby promoting a sense of comfort and self-esteem.

  • Toileting

Toileting comprises assisting the aged members with their bathroom needs. Our personal care support caregivers support the aged members to get inside the toilet and come back, maintain cleanliness, and manage incontinence when necessary.

This personal care aspect is essential to promote an individual's comfort, maintain hygiene, and ensure overall well-being. Based on the aged member's abilities and preferences, toileting assistance is personalized and helps to foster a respectful and supportive caregiving environment.

  • Positioning

Positioning means the deliberate arrangement and adjustment of the elderly person's body to optimize comfort, prevent discomfort and address medical or mobility concerns.

Caregivers of ABC CARE assist to ensure the aged person has been appropriately positioned, maybe when they are sitting, lying down or transitioning between positions. Proper positioning is crucial to prevent pressure sores, enhance circulation and provide overall comfort. For them to maintain optimal body alignment, promote well-being and prevent potential health issues due to prolonged immobility - our support caregivers help the aged members use supportive aids like pillows and cushions.

What is meant by personal care and how is it different from home care?

Personal care is focused on providing assistance to aged members to get easy with daily living activities like dressing, bathing, and toileting. On the other hand, home care covers a broader range of support, that includes personal care, companionship and household chores.

What factors are to be considered at the time of choosing a personal care provider?

When you have to choose a support care provider for personal care, be careful of factors such as the provider's reputation, staff qualification, the services offered, cost, and location. Visiting the facility or meeting with the provider to assess whether the needs and preferences are met is essential.

What kind of personal care do people with dementia receive?

Specialized personal care is meant for the aged people with dementia. We focus on creating a safe and supportive environment, assisting with daily living activities, and addressing behavioural changes related to the condition.
