Here is how personal care helps your family.
Needing help in the bathroom or getting dressed is one of the hardest changes for an older adult to accept. Our caregivers are trained to step in gently, follow your loved one's lead and protect their privacy at every step. Personal care is often the first help a caregiver gives when an elderly parent starts to need support at home.
Personal care is often the first service families ask about, especially after a fall, a hospital stay or a change in health that makes the morning routine unsafe to do alone.
Personal care can include any of these tasks.
You choose only the tasks your loved one needs. We put them in a written care plan during your free home assessment.
- Bathing and showering
- Help getting in and out of the shower
- Grooming and hair care
- Shaving and oral care
- Getting dressed and undressed
- Help using the bathroom
- Incontinence care
- Morning and bedtime routines
- Help walking and moving around the home
- Medication reminders
Rolocare provides non-medical care only. Our caregivers do not perform nursing tasks such as injections or wound care.
This is who personal care is a good fit for.
Personal care is a good fit when your loved one is unsteady in the bathroom, has trouble with buttons, zippers or shoes, or skips bathing because it has become difficult or frightening.
We provide personal care across Southern California.
Families often ask us these questions about personal care.
Will the same caregiver help my loved one each time?
We work to keep the same small group of caregivers with your loved one, so they get to know each other and the routine stays familiar.
Do your caregivers give medication?
No. Our caregivers give medication reminders, but they do not give medication, because Rolocare provides non-medical care only.
Our caregivers also help with these services.
Every family is different, so every care plan is different too.
Let's talk about caring for your loved one.
Your first home assessment is free, and there is no obligation.
