We understand it’s a significant step when considering hiring a live-in caregiver to look after a senior loved one through Coquitlam Personal Care. Families can avoid misunderstandings about boundaries, schedules and duties by asking the right questions.

Here are a few more common ones, along with the types of answers you should be looking for. 

What exactly is a live-in caregiver? 

One of these personal care assistants supplies around-the-clock companionship and a support system right inside a senior’s home. This is an excellent way to assist an older person or a client with disabilities with their daily activities and be available at night in case of any emergencies.

It’s a good solution for older relatives who may be confused or anxious due to memory loss or another condition. They supply personal care that includes one-on-one attention.

What makes personal care different from other types of care, like medical care?

A senior will likely receive clinical treatment in a facility that offers structured treatment plans tailored to a wide range of patients. Caregivers, with or without medical backgrounds, provide personal care and can help with the activities of daily living (ADLS) of individuals, such as toileting, grooming, bathing, and dressing.

Do caregivers care for clients with special needs?

These compassionate caregivers are always happy to care for clients with special needs. They have the training and experience to care for older people and others with physical, cognitive, and even developmental challenges.

  • A live-in caregiver can help a senior with walkers and wheelchairs. They can focus on ensuring an older person has mobility in their home. 
  • They can also help people who suffer from diseases like Alzheimer’s and Dementia with daily routines and social interactions.

This type of caregiver offers companionship and builds consistent routines for clients to boost their self-esteem and enhance their lifestyle.

What other kinds of things will a Coquitlam Personal Care attendant do?

Domestic helpers like these are dedicated to ensuring your loved one’s life is as full as possible. Their personal care services offer help with dressing and grooming and support for other important day-to-day activities like bathing and showering.
