Comfort Keepers caregivers provide customized at-home hygiene assistance in Calabash, Shallotte, Brunswick County and the surrounding communities of North Carolina
At Comfort Keepers of Calabash, our locally owned and operated in-home care agency helps seniors to live gracefully and independently in their own homes despite certain age-related challenges. Our trained, experienced caregivers provide a wide array of services that range from meaningful companionship and occasional assistance with household tasks to more specialized services such as dementia care, post-hospital care, respite care, and more.
When needed, we also assist clients with basic hygiene and other related activities of daily living. As it often happens, many seniors struggle with mobility or have other health issues that may prevent them from maintaining good hygiene and this is where we can offer invaluable help.
What Is Personal Care?
In our line of work, personal care refers to a wide range of assistive services designed to help seniors with basic hygiene tasks and other activities of daily living such as dressing, grooming, and toileting. Depending on your mom or dad’s age, mobility, or range of motion, our caregivers can be there for stand-by assistance or provide more hands-on, full care when clients are bedridden or incapacitated in some other way.
In Calabash, NC, our personal care plans include but are not limited to:
- Bathing and showering
- Dressing and grooming
- Getting in and out of the bed
- Mobility assistance
- Toileting and incontinence care
- Healthy meal prep and feeding a special diet
- Transferring and positioning to prevent ulcers and bedsores
- Fall risk reduction
- Monitoring
- And more
When it comes to bathing, it is all about consistency — maintaining proper hygiene is essential to preventing rashes, infections, strong odors, and keeping your loved one as healthy as possible. We know how these matters can be rather sensitive for your parent and we can assure you that our compassionate caregivers always perform these tasks with the utmost respect for the client.
Another goal of personal care is to provide dignifying, compassionate assistance to ensure your loved one looks and feels their absolute best. We can style or braid mom’s hair, apply makeup and nail polish, or give dad a clean shave. An occasional pampering can do wonders for their self-esteem and emotional wellness too.
In addition to this, our seasoned caregivers can also perform light housekeeping tasks, run errands, pick up prescriptions from the local pharmacy, drive your loved one to medical checkups, and much more.
