West Vancouver Shower Assist for Seniors
How We Make Shower Assistance Dignified
Our West Vancouver Shower Assist for Seniors service covers several aspects that simultaneously reduce risks and enhance the experience. Staying clean and refreshed helps them to maintain their dignity. We want to help your loved ones remain confident.
There’s more to this service than meets the eye.
- The priority is ensuring your elderly relative feels secure and looks forward to a routine. One of the first things that needs to be done is establishing a regular bathing day and pattern. A caregiver can also ensure that all safety equipment, like shower chairs, handheld sprayers, and grab bars, are used.
- It’s essential to allow your older relative to do as much for themselves as possible. One of our support workers is also there to assist by gently and compassionately covering our clients with robes and towels when necessary.
- Vancouver shower assist for seniors is an excellent service when handled with the older client’s privacy in mind. It’s also a wonderful time for a helper to closely monitor any health issues, like rashes or wounds that might need to be reported.
We understand how important it is to maintain bathing and showering for someone who wants to age in place. It’s also essential to ensure the whole process is dignified and compassionate, and that’s why our caregivers ask for permission before any part of the process.
Building trust is essential. That’s why a helper will always describe what they are about to do to help an elderly client. For example, they might say, “I’m going to help you spray your back off now,” in a gentle tone.
Allowing a senior to participate and clean those easy-to-reach areas is also important. Establishing a perfect balance is a big part of this service.
