We recognize the importance of living independently, but we also know that some days managing daily tasks like bathing and styling your hair can be quite challenging. That's why Essence Home Care is here to help ease any additional stress with our personal home care services, tailored to meet your needs while preserving your dignity.
Personal Care
Maintaining proper hygiene and grooming is crucial for enhancing self-confidence and overall well-being. Essence Home Care can assist with bathing, showering, shampooing, dressing, shaving, hair styling, teeth and denture cleaning, and changing continence products. We also help with the fitting of personal aids. To ensure safety, we make sure all necessary equipment, like non-slip mats, handrails, and appropriate seating, is in place.
Grooming & Hygiene
Essence Home Care recognizes that there may come a time when extra support is needed to enhance your quality of life. Our Complex Personal Care services provide additional assistance with daily personal hygiene for those with higher needs due to disability, chronic conditions, illness, or age-related frailty.
Whether it's Dementia Care, Post Operative Care, or Palliative Care, our compassionate and qualified caregivers ensure your personal care needs are met, making each day comfortable with our person-centered approach. We strive to match you with the perfect caregiver, ensuring your specialized care experience is both helpful and pleasant.
Complex Personal Care
Positioning is a key aspect of home care, involving the careful arrangement and adjustment of an individual's body to optimize comfort and address medical or mobility concerns. At Essence Home Care, our caregivers ensure that clients are properly positioned, whether sitting, lying down, or transitioning between positions. This practice is essential for preventing pressure sores, enhancing circulation, and providing overall comfort. Our caregivers may use supportive aids, such as pillows or cushions, to maintain optimal body alignment, promoting well-being and preventing potential health issues associated with prolonged immobility.
