Hygiene Assistance

All people have personal cleanliness and self-care needs. We wash ourselves, our clothes, and we groom, too. This is important for our health and wellbeing, but it’s also about the image we have of ourselves, and maintaining that image. While most people can tackle their own hygiene routines by themselves, vulnerable parties might struggle to do so. At John Allen Home Health Care, we’re ready to provide a hygiene assistance service for exactly these reasons. Over the years, our home health care assistants have provided bathroom assistance, bathing and showering assistance, and so much else. They have done so with empathy and sensitivity, too, ensuring that everyone involved feels comfortable and respected. If you would like to arrange hygiene assistance for yourself or someone you know, get in touch with our team at the earliest opportunity. For more information on what we can do, please read on.

Bathroom Assistance

Everyone needs to be able to go to the bathroom to relieve themselves. Not being able to do so – or not being able to easily – makes life much too difficult. Unfortunately, there are many people that struggle with exactly that. At John Allen Home Health Care, we’re delighted we can provide bathroom assistance for these situations, making sure that people are not forced to struggle. Whether or not this problem is severe or developing, our team has the knowledge and capability to provide this vital form of assistance.

Incontinence Care

If you or a loved one is suffering from incontinence, our team is ready and able to offer incontinence care to help handle the situation. Managing a weak bladder or bowel can represent a significant challenge for many people, and it could take a nuanced, multi-faceted approach to get things on the right track. This isn’t just about the physical act of helping someone go to the bathroom, but recognizing the signs that the need is coming, and being prepared ahead of time. Our deep experience with incontinence care means that we can take preventative steps that makes the individual more secure and prepared each day.

Bathing and Showering Assistance

Staying clean might be simple for some people, but for others it can be a tough endeavor. As mobility declines, it can become more and more difficult to stay clean and clear of muck. We provide a bathing and showering assistance service for just this reason. Helping with all forms of personal hygiene, our team can help prevent infections, skin issues, and other health complications that would result from inadequate hygiene. Beyond showering and bathing, we also help with oral care, which can also significantly impact health if left uncared for.

Dress and Grooming Assistance

Many elderly, injury and vulnerable people struggling with dressing and grooming themselves. We make sure that these processes are not only taken care of, but that they’re done so in a way that is comfortable and streamlined. We treat all of our patients with dignity and sensitivity – at all times – to make sure they feel properly looked after throughout these processes.
