After her stroke, your mom’s recovering, but she cannot do many things she used to. Showering is just one of the many grooming and hygiene tasks she cannot do independently. Personal care at home services are the services that are designed to help in this situation.

Help With Showers

Your mom’s leg strength is minimal, so showering on her own is tough. She has a hard time reaching up to wash her hair. It’s okay if she can’t as her caregiver can help her.

Invest in a shower seat to give your mom a place to sit while she takes a shower. Her caregiver can help her wash her hair and body, rinse off, and hold the shower head wand if her hand strength makes it difficult.

Personal Care at Home Aides Help With Skincare Routines

After she’s showered, your mom doesn’t have the hand strength to apply skin cream to keep her skin moisturized. Her caregiver can help her apply moisturizer to her arms, feet, hands, and legs. It will keep her skin from becoming dry and flaky.

If she uses a facial moisturizer, eye cream, or serum, her caregiver can apply those products, too. Your mom may need help applying lip balm or lipstick, and caregivers help with that.

Help With Dressing

She is showered and ready to get dressed, but your mom has a hard time pulling on pants, buttoning shirts, and zipping up a zipper. It’s not a problem as her caregiver can help her get dressed and tie her shoes if needed.

If your mom is going outside, her caregiver can also help her get dressed in a coat, hat, mittens, and scarf. She’ll be warm enough when she’s outside with a family member or another caregiver.

Help With Oral Care

Your mom cannot hold a toothbrush or floss anymore, but she needs to keep her teeth brushed and flossed. Personal care aides help with oral care. If your mom gains the right skills to take over, she’ll be able to start brushing and flossing her teeth again.

Help With Grooming

Other aspects of daily grooming may challenge your mom. She struggles to brush and style her hair. She cannot trim her nails anymore, and filing them is just as difficult. She doesn’t have to go without as her caregiver can help her with everything she’s unable to do independently.

Personal Care at Home Aides Help With Toileting

Finally, your mom struggles to use the toilet on her own now. She needs help sitting on the toilet, cleaning up after, and getting back into her pants and underwear. A caregiver specializing in personal care can help her with all of this.

Personal care at home aides ensure your mom’s grooming and hygiene needs are tended to. You’re not uncomfortable helping her with more intimate care needs, and she’s not embarrassed having to rely on you. Call and talk to our advisor to learn more about personal care at home.
