Personal Home Care in Scarborough, ME, and the Surrounding Area

Let Comfort Keepers caregivers help your loved one look and feel their best

In our line of work, it is almost impossible to meet a senior who does not enjoy living independently at home, even when challenges of aging significantly diminish their ability to perform simple, everyday tasks. As many older adults are strong-willed and passionate about aging in place, Comfort Keepers is firmly dedicated to helping them achieve that goal. One of the ways we do this is through our personal home care services.

What is Personal Care?

In simple words, personal care is a broad term commonly used in the caregiving industry to describe all types of support geared toward maintaining personal hygiene and similar activities of daily living such as dressing, grooming, or toileting.

The level of assistance is determined by the age or vitality of the elderly who may be incapacitated to perform these tasks safely or singlehandedly. It can range from stand-by monitoring to full care and anything in between, depending on your loved one’s specific situation and needs.

In addition to basic hygiene assistance, personal home care plans often include services like meal prep & feeding a special diet, toileting, and incontinence care, transferring and positioning, and more. For instance, if your parent is diagnosed with dementia, we will provide personal care in accordance with their condition or symptoms and include memory care into their customized care plan. The same goes if your loved one is prone to falls – we can run fall risk assessments and minimize fall risks in your loved one’s home, or tailor our care to address any other issues they might be struggling with.
