Personal Care
FirstLight HomeCare also provides even more personal care services to assist with the activities of daily living, giving families additional peace-of-mind and giving clients dignity and comfort every day.
These services includes:
Bathing and Hygiene
The social, emotional and health benefits of bathing and personal hygiene are very important. Our FirstLight HomeCare caregivers are specially trained in this and other personal care services, with a focus on the dignity, comfort and health of each client.
Walking and Mobility Assistance
We recognize that our clients realize mental and physical benefits from regular movement, and our caregivers take into consideration the physical limitations and comfort of each client’s ability to walk, climb stairs, get in and out of vehicles and make other routine movements.
Transfer and Posture Positioning
In addition to helping our clients with regular movement around the home or around town, our caregivers also concentrate on making sure each client maintains proper posture for eating or while sitting and reading or watching television. This helps with digestion and circulation. We can also assist with properly helping clients in and out of bed or the bathroom.
Continence and Toileting Care
Our FirstLight HomeCare caregivers are trained and experienced in providing sensitivity, privacy and dignity while assisting with urinary and bowel care. We understand the role that toileting care can play in a client’s comfort, self-esteem and social life.
Special Diets and Meal Preparation
FirstLight HomeCare works with clients, families and nutrition professionals to plan and prepare meals according to the specific needs of our clients. This can include shopping for special diets (diabetic, low sodium, low trans fat, etc.) and working to fix favorite dishes just right.
Eating Assistance
Some of our clients may have physical and emotional challenges in the ability to perform basic functions. Our caregivers provide exceptional sensitivity, care and safety for clients with these challenges.
Oral Hygiene
Our caregivers provide some of our aging and disabled clients assistance with mouth, gum and denture care, leading to better overall oral hygiene.
