Seniors and people with disabilities need to keep their bodies clean to avoid infections and further health complications. Observing good hygiene can also make them feel more comfortable and refreshed, improving their overall mood all day. Apart from these, proper skin care can help seniors avoid skin injuries and sores since their skin are already thin and can easily dry.
Personal caregivers can make sure that their bodies and their home environments are clean to make their houses conducive for maintaining good health. Their responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Performing light housekeeping tasks (vacuuming, making beds, changing linens, cleaning bathrooms, kitchen, etc. )
- Assisting with patient ambulation
- Preparing meals and cleaning up meal-related items
- Assisting with bathing
