Dignified In-Home Personal Care for Seniors
Personal care services for an older relative not only benefit your senior loved one, but it also benefits their family. These services can help to reduce physical and emotional stress on their family by assisting with activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, dressing, feeding, and toileting.
They also help reduce the family’s burden of providing full-time care, allowing them to spend more quality time with other loved ones or on other neglected responsibilities while still being assured that their senior loved one’s needs are being met. Personal care services can be a great way for caregivers to provide assistance and companionship and help seniors enjoy the activities they like the most.
What problems can occur if an aging loved one does not receive personal care services?
Without personal care services, an elderly relative may risk developing health issues due to a lack of proper nutrition and hygiene. Without assistance with bathing, dressing, and grooming, the elderly may be prone to skin infections and other medical conditions. Not receiving support with daily activities such as meal preparation and shopping can also lead to malnourishment and other health issues. Furthermore, seniors without personal care services may become isolated from the community, making socializing more difficult, which can lead to depression.
How can personal care services benefit your senior loved one and your family?
Personal care services can provide a range of support for an older relative. These services typically include assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, eating, and drinking. This help can make it easier for older relatives to remain independent in their homes or a residential setting.
In addition, personal care services can also help family caregivers with their own needs. These services can also help increase the quality of life for the caregiver and the older relative by reducing stress, allowing more time to spend together on leisurely activities, and providing an opportunity for restful sleep.
Top-Rated Home Care Services
At Pathlight Seniorcare Services, we understand that loneliness and isolation can become common feelings as we age.

Conveniently available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, our customized Personal Care solutions include the following:
