Tip for Making Your Senior Bath Regularly

They might lose track of time and forget when the last day of their shower was. Be gentle, and don’t force them to bath, most especially if they have dementia. Start asking them to wipe their face until they get used to it, then you can start cleaning other parts of their body. If they are too modest and ashamed to ask for help, open the idea of a professional caregiver assisting them. We can help you to make them adhere to their personal hygiene.

The Real Power Lies on Your Hands

“Look, calling somebody in a wheelchair handicapable doesn`t all of a sudden give them the power to climb stairs or the ability to grab Ho-Hos off the top shelf.” ? Glenn Beck

Help your loved ones bound in wheelchair not to treat their condition as a life sentence! Shower them with tender assistance and attentive care. We can come to your home for help.

Seeking Companion for Your Senior’s Behalf?

Our seniors’ physical abilities might be limited but not their capacity to feel. Indeed, no man is an island. Leaving your beloved elders alone increases their risk of depression. Allow us to be their companion through ups and downs.

How to Guide Someone with Sight Problem

If you see a blind or partially blind person, you can ask them if they need help. Let them tell you what kind of help they need. As you assist them, keep these in mind:

- Introduce yourself.
- Let them take your arm, not theirs.
- Let them know where they are and what potential dangers lie ahead.
- Place their hand on the back of the seat before they sit down.
- Never walk away without telling them you’re leaving.

If your loved ones need a hand for their vision problem, we are excited to help you.

Breathtaking Words of the Day

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” - George Carlin

It’s not about how many days you have in life, but how you live the days you have. Even in illness, you can choose to live a controlled and happy life. Especially if you’re an older adult, you might need help on your side. You can share your load with us.

Payback Time

It’s a cycle of care: our parents nurtured us when we were young and helpless, but now it’s our turn to help them back. A grateful and loving heart does not feel the burden to care. We have the same heartbeat as yours.

Why Don’t Seniors Eat Properly?

Many seniors lose motivation to eat as their metabolism slows and nutritional needs change. This is one of the challenges of families and caregivers. To address this, know first what hinders them:

- Reduction in senses of smell and taste
- Low vision
- Medications
- Constipation
- Oral health issues
- Dining alone
- Unwillingness to cook

Let us help you restore their appetite. You can trust our care for your beloved.

When Is Your Senior Needing Help?

It’s not when they can no more eat and do everyday tasks on their own. Sensitivity is a must. You can sense they’re secretly needing help when these situations rise up:

- Difficulty in climbing up and down the stairs.
- Their room becomes dusty, unlike their previous clean place.
- There are a lot of spoiled foods in the fridge even if they claim to eat 3 times a day.

Seniors’ deteriorating body hinders them to perform their usual independent tasks. Look closely. Perhaps it’s time you call a help for them.
