Personal Care at Home for Seniors
Respectful, hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming and getting around, overseen by our nurses.
Help with the personal parts of the day
Personal care means practical support with the activities of daily living: bathing, personal hygiene, dressing and grooming, eating, and moving safely around the home.
It is often what makes it possible to stay at home rather than move to a facility. Done well, it protects dignity, lowers the risk of falls, and keeps small problems from turning into hospital stays.
Our caregivers are experienced and unhurried. Many clients come to think of them as friends.
What personal care includes
Support is set out in a care plan and reviewed as needs change.
Bathing and grooming
Help with showering, hygiene, hair, shaving and dressing.
Mobility support
A steady arm around the home, reminders to use walkers and other aids.
Medication reminders
Prompts to take medication on time, with anything missed documented and reported.
Nurse oversight
A registered nurse assesses each client and our charge nurse reviews care logs regularly.
How we decide what is needed
One of our registered nurses assesses your loved one and builds the care plan. If needs change or increase, a nurse reassesses and updates the plan.
Two things to know up front:
Caregivers can remind clients to take medication but cannot administer or prescribe it.
We generally do not take on clients who need to be physically lifted or transferred. If that applies, call us and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
How it works
Three simple steps, no long contracts.
1. Tell us what you need
Call us or request a free assessment. We listen first and ask about routines, health and preferences.
2. Meet your WellnessMate
We match a trained, background-checked companion to your loved one and agree a schedule that suits you.
3. Stay informed
You get shift reports on daily activities. Our nurses review care logs and adjust the plan as needs change.
Good to know
Straight answers before you call.
Paying for personal care
We are a private-pay agency and work with long-term care insurance policies; we provide the detailed invoices and care documentation insurers ask for. We are not a Medicaid or Medicare provider.
There are no long-term contracts.
