Bathing as Part of Your in Home Care Service Plan in Brooklyn, NY

We’re here to help seniors remain safe and clean

One of the hardest parts of growing older is losing your flexibility and mobility. However, just because you are starting to slow down a bit doesn't mean you have to leave your home and move into an assisted living facility if you don't want to. At Right at Home serving Brooklyn, NY our in home care service plans make it possible for you to continue living at home independently thanks to the hard work and dedication of our caregivers.

Bathing & Grooming Services

Of all the various places in which seniors tend to suffer from a fall, the bathtub or shower are among the highest. For many seniors who find themselves unable to handle the bath or shower on their own, they feel like they have little choice but to settle for a washcloth and a quick wash. This doesn't exactly go very far towards keeping clean. By not keeping your body as clean as it should be, you put yourself at risk of various skin and health issues. Our caregivers are well aware of this situation and are trained to help with:

• Dressing and undressing
• Toileting
• Getting into and out of the tub or shower
• Body and hair washing
• Dispensing of soaps and shampoos for use
• Using shower aids such as a non-slip matt or a chair

Bathing is just one part of the picture. Good grooming habits are also essential to how you feel, how you look, and your overall health. Which is why our in home care service includes help with things like brushing teeth, trimming nails, combing/brushing hair, toileting, and much more.

More Than Just Being Clean

Remaining clean is more than just a social obligation and a basic means to be healthy. The act of relaxing in warm water, smelling clean, and feeling clean can help seniors decompress from the day. Maintaining physical appearance is also a way that seniors can help foster their self-confidence and sense of happiness.
