Enhancing Quality of Life: Personal Care for Seniors by Comfort Keepers of Fort Myers
Call for a Virtual or In-Home Assessment
Some seniors have difficulty doing routine personal care duties due to disease, injury, or other aging-related factors. As a result, there may be feelings of loneliness and increased risks for mental and physical illnesses like depression and anxiety.
Fortunately, seniors with difficulty with daily life activities may find comfort in the personal care services provided by Comfort Keepers of Fort Myers.
What is Personal Care?
Many seniors want to live comfortably in their homes for as long as possible but may experience health issues requiring extra caregiver support. Comfort Keepers offers personal care services in Fort Myers to continue aging in place.
An aging loved one can preserve their comfort and enjoy their golden years with dignity, independence, and peace of mind with the assistance and supervision of a personal caregiver.
Personal care is a broad concept that encompasses fundamental hygiene practices and everyday activities such as getting dressed, grooming, and using the bathroom. Our caregivers at Comfort Keepers are well-trained to assist with personal hygiene needs, offering varying levels of support based on each senior's specific requirements.
Personal hygiene may also include bathing, help with moving around, managing incontinence and toileting, preparing and serving meals, as well as more involved personal care like repositioning for seniors who are confined to bed and specialized assistance for individuals with memory problems or cognitive limitations, evaluating and preventing the risk of falls, and monitoring changes in condition.
Comfort Keepers will create a customized care plan considering your loved one's physical security and emotional health. We aim to help our seniors live comfortably at the highest possible standard of life while maintaining their independence.
Personal Care Plans
Understanding that personal care can be a delicate matter for many seniors, our compassionate caregivers receive specialized training to handle this aspect of care with the highest level of empathy, guaranteeing that seniors receive assistance in a way that values their comfort and dignity.
Our personal care plans in Fort Myers include:
Bathing and Hygiene: Our empathetic caregivers can help seniors maintain their hygiene by providing support with bathing, getting dressed, brushing their teeth, and styling their hair.
Fall Prevention: Reducing falls in the home is one of our top concerns, and our in-home caregivers can help seniors move around their homes safely to prevent slips and falls.
Transferring and Positioning: Moving around can get more difficult as we age. At Comfort Keepers, our caregivers are trained to position their seniors to encourage proper breathing and digestion.
Toileting and Incontinence Care: We understand that toileting can be a delicate subject for many seniors. Our caregivers can provide support with using the restroom and incontinence care respectfully.
Nutrition and Meal Preparation: Our caregivers can support doctor-prescribed nutrition plans to ensure your senior loved one eats well.
We strive to provide the highest quality of care. Our care coordinators are happy to schedule a free home assessment if you or a loved one could benefit from companionship, personal care, or other senior care services in Fort Myers, Naples, Port Charlotte, or the surrounding areas.
