PERSONAL CARE SERVICES:
Personal care services are designed to help clients with activities of daily living (ADLs), monitor medical conditions and to help preserve and provide a safe and sanitary home. The kinds of activities that the aide performs are comparable to those that family members would perform for the person in need. Aides provide assistance with the 5 ADLs: bathing, dressing, toileting, ambulation, eating. The aide also helps to maintain the home environment, including light cleaning, laundry, shopping, and keeping the home safe. The client's vital signs, such as respiratory rate, pulse rate, and temperature, are observed. The aide may also remind the client to take prescribed medication(s), when necessary, transport and/or escort the client to doctor appointments(only our SC aides), and go grocery shopping/errands.
