Personal Care Services

Bathing, Grooming, and Hygiene

Our compassionate care can help you or your loved ones feel good about their appearance through bathing, grooming, and hygiene assistance. Bathing keeps the senior's hygiene in check and refreshes the spirit, provides relaxation, and stimulates circulation—all critical aspects of a senior's health. You'll also be happy to know that our caregivers are trained to alleviate any embarrassment or discomfort that a senior may feel when receiving personal care services.

Mobility Assistance

When considering their ages, abilities, and overall health, mobility assistance helps seniors maintain as active a lifestyle as possible. Some of the physical health benefits of keeping a senior mobile include lowering blood pressure, improving digestion and sleep, increasing energy and stamina, and strengthening the heart. We can work with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate amount of mobility for each senior as part of our senior care, and we can also accompany the client on a short walk in their Charlotte neighborhood and provide encouragement and reminders to complete prescribed exercises.

Transferring and Positioning

Comfort Keepers caregivers are trained to move and position clients in the proper posture positions to promote health and safety. We recognize that proper transferring and positioning from or into beds and chairs can benefit a senior's health. It eliminates pressure areas on the skin, reduces muscle weakening and stiffening, and promotes proper breathing, digestion, and elimination with proper care and positioning.

Toileting and Incontinence Care

We recognize that seniors prefer maintaining their independence, particularly in toileting care. One of the most difficult things for a senior to admit is that they require toileting care, especially if they want to avoid going into a nursing home and staying in their own home. Our caregivers can provide the care they require at home while also working to maintain seniors' and other adult clients' dignity and self-esteem as they assist with daily living activities. Our aides use a caring approach to help clients deal with the embarrassment of incontinence and the need for toileting assistance.

Feeding and Special Diet

Some clients need help feeding themselves, and losing independent eating can be hard to accept. Our Comfort Keepers understand this and are particularly sensitive, making the extra effort that can turn mealtime into a more enjoyable social time. We can provide seniors with delicious and nutritious meals that they will enjoy eating. In addition, we will help ensure that their clients stay on prescribed diets to prevent or control a wide variety of medical conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes.

Companion Care

Conversation and Companionship

Clients benefit from the companionship provided by our care providers. Conversations with a senior or sitting down to share a meal are examples of companion care services. Social contact, even as simple as a quiet chat, has improved seniors' health, happiness, and quality of life. It's nice knowing that our team is local to Charlotte, so we can relate to your loved one as a true neighbor.

Meal Preparation

Many seniors lack the ability to shop for groceries and prepare a nutritious meal, which is an important part of a senior's independence. We can prepare hot, delicious, nutritious meals based on our client's preferences to ensure they get the nutrition they require. Clients may assist their caregiver with meal preparation to the extent that their abilities allow. 

Laundry

Our Comfort Keepers will tend to the laundry either at their clients’ homes or a laundry facility and will wash, dry, fold, iron, and put clothing away. We work to ensure that each client’s laundry is done according to his or her preferences. 

Light Housekeeping

Our light housekeeping services cover most domestic tasks. Often, seniors are able and want to join their care aides in housework, which can help them feel useful and needed. These tasks include vacuuming, dusting, sweeping and mopping floors, and cleaning bathrooms and kitchens. Please be advised that our services do not include outdoor cleaning or maintenanceGrocery Shopping/Errands

Our in home care services include grocery shopping and running errands that seniors need done. We will shop at the stores our clients prefer and run errands such as picking up prescriptions or going to the post office. Clients may choose to stay home or come along and help with shopping and errands. Joining their care provider in errands is as an excellent way to stay active and engaged. We will use any coupons provided.

Incidental Transportation

Our caregivers can assist clients with incidental transportation in and around the Queen City area. This gives seniors the freedom to go shopping and participate in other activities, as well as to medical appointments, the barbershop or beauty salon, and other locations of their choosing. With our transportation services, seniors can go wherever they want, whenever they want. Getting a senior out and about benefits his or her mind, body, and spirit. 

Medication Reminders

Our team in Charlotte is pleased to have collaborated with Guardian to provide medical management systems that can assist seniors in keeping track of their medications to ensure they are taken and provide a way for seniors to keep track of their medications for doctor's appointments. Although Comfort Keepers employees cannot administer medications, they can assist clients in taking their own medications as prescribed. Our Comfort Keepers can help their clients open medication containers, read labels, and remind them when it is time to take a dose. 

24-Hour Care

Depending on the client’s needs, we can provide care services for just a few hours a week or provide full-time, 24-hour care and respite care.  Through our 24-hour senior care services, a team of Comfort Keepers coordinates caregiving responsibilities in shifts.  This offers clients and their families full-time peace of mind, knowing that they are receiving the care they need with Comfort Keepers's wide range of in-home care services.
