Personal Care in Parkland
For a great many households this single service, bought three mornings a week, is the whole of what was actually required.
The smallest useful booking
Washing is where independence tends to go first and where help is hardest to accept. It is also the one task that makes a visible difference from the very first visit.
Because of that, personal care is usually the right place to spend a first small budget. Three short visits a week is a common starting shape and often the ending shape too.
What an aide cannot do is make a judgement about the body itself. Anything found on the skin is reported the same day and looked at by somebody qualified to interpret it.
Personal care sits easily alongside a meal, the laundry or twenty minutes of company in the same visit.
Inside a visit
Agreed in writing with the person concerned wherever they are able to take part.
Washing
Under the shower, in the bath or standing at the basin, depending on what the day can manage.
Dressing
Clothes set out in a sequence that works, fastenings handled rather than battled.
The lavatory
Safely there and safely back, with no production made of it.
The awkward movements
Sitting up and swinging the legs round, reaching the frame, and rising again when the lavatory is finished.
Creams and nails
Applied as the plan says, with anything unfamiliar telephoned through that afternoon.
When families usually start here
- A wash has quietly become a weekly event
- A partner is lifting and it is no longer safe
- Showering has been given up and washing at the sink is not covering it
- Getting up from the lavatory is the hard part
- The same clothes are worn for days together
Three mornings is a real answer
Try the smallest version before anybody proposes something larger.
