Personal at Home Care Services
Our in-home caregiving services allow seniors to receive the care they need in the comfort of their own homes. Blakeford’s personal in-home care services include:
Bathing Assistance
Regular bathing assistance is an essential service that helps seniors maintain healthy skin and proper hygiene and promotes a healthier lifestyle. Bathing assistance not only creates a safe environment for seniors while bathing, it makes them more comfortable and secure in staying on track with their regular personal care routines.
Dressing Assistance
Blakeford’s in-home caregivers can assist with basic dressing assistance or provide complete assistance. Our goal is to help seniors get properly dressed each day to maintain a routine and ensure they are prepared for everything from a walk around the block to social interactions and even medical appointments.
Bathroom Assistance and Continence Care
Our bathroom assistance helps with getting to and from the restroom regularly and maintaining good continence care. This is critical for maintaining proper hygiene and keeping clients healthy. Our experienced staff has the training to handle this important aspect of at-home care efficiently and professionally.
Transferring Service
Moving around the home can become more difficult as we age. Transferring service for at-home seniors, also known as transfer assistance, is the professional help and equipment used to move a senior who has mobility issues safely.
Common scenarios requiring transfer assistance include:
- Moving into and out of bed.
- Getting on and off the toilet.
- Entering and exiting a shower or tub.
- Changing position from a wheelchair to a bed, chair, or car.
- Standing up from a seated position or sitting down from a standing position.
Medication Reminders
For seniors living at home, remembering when and how to take medications can often be challenging. If you or a loved one is struggling with regularly using their prescribed medications or has difficulty administering them, in-home personal care can help. Blakeford’s trained staff provides supportive supervision to assist seniors in following prescription schedules by providing proactive reminders and closely adhering to prescription schedules.
