empowers seniors to maintain independence and age comfortably at home
Personal Care
Personal home care empowers seniors to maintain independence and age comfortably at home, avoiding the need to move to an assisted-living facility, even with physical disabilities or chronic health conditions.
If your senior is concerned about losing independence or struggles with daily tasks, a blue and faith dedicated personal care assistant can offer the necessary in-home support.
What Is Personal Care?
Personal care is a non-medical home care service assisting older adults with daily activities like:
- Dressing
- Personal grooming
- Bathing
- Toileting
- Mobility and transfers
Personal caregivers also lend a hand with other tasks, including errands, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and other routine activities. Often referred to as “private duty care” or “private care,” personal care ensures your senior’s safety, comfort, and overall well-being.
Having a blue and faith caregiver by your loved one’s side can also help reduce the risk of senior isolation. These services are beneficial for individuals with chronic health conditions or physical disabilities in need of personal home care assistance.
Personal Care vs. Companion Care
The two primary in-home care services, personal care and companion care, share similarities but differ in their scope. Both provide companionship and emotional support, but the main distinction lies in assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and tasks requiring direct physical help.
Personal caregivers possess the skills for physical assistance alongside other duties, while companion caregivers can assist with errands and light housekeeping but cannot help with ADLs.
blue and faith recommends personal services for those needing direct physical assistance or with chronic health conditions like deficits after a stroke or dementia. Companion services may be recommended if your loved one does not require this level of assistance.
Getting Started with Personal Care Services
Blue and faith understands the importance of seniors staying in their homes. Starting private home care services is simple.
A care coordinator will arrange a free consultation to explain blue and faith’s approach to in-home assistance and address any concerns. They will also gather information about your loved one’s situation to create a personalized care plan and schedule.
The coordinator will then select a caregiver with the skills and abilities matching your loved one’s needs and preferences.
