Personal Care
Clients in need of assistance with daily self-care tasks can benefit from the services of Personal Care Attendants (PCAs) and Home Health Aides (HHAs). G&V Health Services 's skilled professionals offer not only socialization and light housekeeping services like Companions but also provide a wide range of additional support. These caregivers are trained to be attentive to changes in client behavior and vital signs that may indicate the need for medical intervention.
Personal care is particularly suited for individuals who are too ill, confused, or physically incapable of performing self-care tasks independently. PCAs and HHAs offer assistance to clients who struggle with daily self-care and hygiene, require monitoring for changes in their health, need help maintaining mobility, seek non-invasive postoperative care, or require support with movement and the use of mobility aids.
PCAs and HHAs are valuable members of the care team, contributing to clients' recovery and overall quality of life. The compassionate and experienced caregivers provided by G&V Health Services understand that each client has different capabilities. They strive to maintain their clients' dignity, privacy, and independence by delivering the appropriate level of support for each task.
PCAs and HHAs can provide services in various settings, including home-based care following surgery or hospitalization, hospice care at home, group homes, assisted living centers, and retirement communities.
These dedicated caregivers perform a range of daily tasks to assist clients with their personal care. This may involve hands-on care such as bathing, dressing, shaving, skin and hair care, as well as monitoring vital signs such as temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure. They can also assist with eating, mobility devices, colostomy bag changes, dressing changes, prescribed range of motion exercises, and application of ice caps or collars for comfort.
Selecting the right Personal Care Assistant is crucial, as clients often find themselves in vulnerable and stressful situations. G&V Health Services understands this and aims to make the process of finding the ideal PCA or HHA quick and hassle-free. Thank you for placing your trust in us.
