What the caregiver does
- Bathing and showering: tub, shower, or bed baths
- Grooming: hair, shaving, nails, and brushing teeth
- Dressing: help picking and putting on clothes
- Using the toilet and staying clean and dry
- Moving safely: in and out of bed, chairs, and wheelchairs
- Skin care: lotion, changing position, watching for changes
What we never do: We are a non-medical agency. Caregivers watch for changes, like a skin problem, and tell the family and care team. They never do wound care or nursing tasks.
Who this helps
- People healing after surgery, like a hip replacement
- People with Parkinson's or shaky hands
- People with memory loss: patient, gentle help
- Anyone at risk of falling in the bathroom or shower
