Personal Care and
Hygiene Services
in Saginaw &

When it becomes difficult to tend to personal care needs safely and comfortably, many older adults prefer the assistance and support of a care professional. They may feel awkward having an adult child or other family member help with their personal needs. A trained and experienced caregiver allows a senior to preserve their privacy and dignity, while preventing a fall or other injury.

- Baths/showers
- Bathroom/incontinence assistance

What if My Loved One Rejects the Idea of Home Care?
It’s not easy to need someone to help with intimate care needs. If a person you love balks at the idea of bringing in support, we have found that starting with a more basic level of care is often helpful. For instance, you can suggest bringing a caregiver in to help first with light housekeeping and meals, or running errands, to alleviate the burden from the older adult. Once they get to know and feel comfortable with their caregiver, you can introduce other services.
Ultimately, the goal is to promote safety while fostering an environment of independence. Our caregivers encourage older adults to continue to do as much for themselves as they can, while offering just the right level of support, always with a focus on respect and dignity.
