Does your loved one seem to be struggling to care for themselves lately? Have you been caring for your loved one, but you need a little more help? Are you recovering from an injury and need some help around your house? Personal care at home may be the perfect option.
Here are the answers to these questions and other things you need to know about personal care at home.
Personal care is critical for a person’s physical and mental health. Failing to eat properly can lead to weight loss and illness. Being unable to shower or get dressed can be damaging to your mental health. When a person can no longer perform their own personal care tasks, they may need a care professional to help them.
While many people associate personal care with inpatient facilities, you or your loved one can get personal care at home, which tends to be better physically, and emotionally, than moving to a nursing home facility.
“Good personal hygiene involves keeping all parts of the external body clean and healthy. It is important for maintaining both physical and mental health.

Companion care or homemaker services, while extremely important, do not provide the same assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) that personal care provides. Companion care or homemaker services provide services such as light housekeeping, cooking, and talking to or playing games with the patient, while personal care provides more hands-on help.
However, don’t discount the importance of companionship. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [2]:
“Loneliness and social isolation in older adults are serious public health risks affecting a significant number of people in the United States and putting them at risk for dementia and other serious medical conditions...Social isolation significantly increased a person’s risk of premature death from all causes, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity.”
