Help to Perform Routine Activities
Personal Care for The Elderly
One fundamental aspect of personal care for the elderly is helping with activities of daily living (ADLs). These include tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. Many seniors may find these activities challenging due to physical limitations or health issues. Assisting them with these tasks not only ensures their hygiene but also promotes a sense of independence and self-esteem. Bathing, for instance, may require careful attention to the individual's comfort and safety. Using non-slip mats in the shower, adjusting water temperature, and providing support during the process are essential steps. Get in touch with us if you need personal care providers for your loved one who is facing challenges in performing routine activities.
Promoting Physical Health
Nutrition and adequate hydration are key components of elderly care. Planning and preparing well-balanced meals that cater to their dietary needs and preferences are needed. Regular meals and snacks not only contribute to their physical health but also offer social interaction during shared mealtimes.
Medication management is significant. Keeping track of medication schedules, administering medications as prescribed, and monitoring for any side effects or changes in health conditions are crucial tasks. Creating a system, such as using a medication chart, can help ensure accuracy and consistency in medication administration. MBA Health personal care providers approach each task with empathy, respect, and sensitivity to our service user’s unique preferences and challenges.

​Helping with dressing involves selecting appropriate clothing, considering any mobility aids they use, and assisting with buttons or zippers if needed.
Helping with regular dental care, hair grooming, and nail care contribute to an individual's overall well-being.
Giving toileting assistance is another vital aspect of personal care for our service users. Mobility issues or medical conditions may require the use of mobility aids or adaptive equipment in the bathroom. Providing privacy, ensuring cleanliness, and addressing any incontinence issues with sensitivity are integral parts of our caregiving responsibility.
