Benefits of Hiring a Personal Care Assistant for Your Loved One in Cumming, GA

A personal care assistant from Comfort Keepers helps with essential personal care and hygiene tasks

Seniors who continue living independently at home often need some support system to manage all on their own. Sometimes, family members can assist with daily tasks, but there are various instances where adult children or grandchildren are not qualified enough to provide care. One of those instances is personal care. In addition to being physically demanding, personal care requires training and expertise to prevent any accident or injury. Plus, seniors are, in most cases, more comfortable receiving this kind of care from a professional personal care assistant than from a family member. Call us in Cumming, GA, to discover how we can help at (770) 887-0499.

What Is a Personal Care Assistant?

Personal care consists of many services, but all of them are focused on supporting personal hygiene tasks and other essential daily activities. Some examples include bathing, toileting, or mobility assistance.

Because not all seniors require the same level of support, a personal care assistant can offer occasional, stand-by assistance and monitoring or full care that can cover a wide range of different responsibilities. That said, we can help your loved ones no matter how small or big their needs are. We can assist your loved one if they need help with bathing a few times a week, or we can provide specialized care such as dementia care or end-of-life care.

Whatever type of care your loved one requires, a personal care assistant will make sure to meet all of their needs, respect all of their guidelines, and reduce discomfort and embarrassment to a minimum.
