How will my father be helped with personal care—like getting dressed, using the bathroom, or taking a shower?”
You approach these essential daily tasks with one word in mind: dignity. Your caregivers are trained, experienced, and—above all—compassionate. You support residents in a way that makes them feel safe, respected, and empowered to live as independently as possible.
What Are Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)?
In assisted living, the term Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) refers to the routine self-care tasks many people take for granted, such as:
• Bathing and showering
• Getting dressed
• Using the toilet
• Grooming (brushing hair, shaving, etc.)
• Walking or transferring safely
• Eating independently
For some older adults, these tasks can become challenging due to physical limitations, memory loss, or medical conditions. That’s where you step in—with gentle, personalized help.
How You Help — With Care and Compassion
Every resident has a personalized care plan that outlines exactly what kind of support they need—no more, no less.
Assistance with Bathing and Showers
Privacy and safety are your top priorities. Residents are offered help with:
• Scheduling regular showers at preferred times
• Safely getting in and out of the shower or tub
• Washing hard-to-reach areas, if needed
• Using adaptive equipment like grab bars and shower chairs
Your caregivers are always respectful, discreet, and trained to provide help that protects residents’ modesty.
Toileting and Personal Hygiene
You offer prompt, respectful assistance with:
• Getting to and from the bathroom
• Managing incontinence care, if needed
• Washing hands and maintaining hygiene afterward
Residents are always treated with dignity, and your team is available 24/7—so no one has to wait in discomfort.
Getting Dressed and Ready for the Day
Whether it’s help choosing weather-appropriate clothing, fastening buttons, or tying shoes, your caregivers ensure each resident feels comfortable, well-groomed, and confident.
You Balance Support with Independence
Your goal is never to take over—it’s to support independence. If a resident can perform a task with a little encouragement or setup, you let them do it. If they need full assistance, you provide it—kindly and patiently.
The result? Residents feel cared for, not controlled.
Your Loved One Deserves Thoughtful Care
Helping with daily activities may seem simple—but it’s deeply personal. You never forget that. Your caregivers build trusted relationships with each resident, so they feel secure and at home—even during life’s most private moments.
