Personal Care During a Respite Stay
Help with bathing, dressing, and grooming, done with privacy and patience. Estimates are free.
Private routines, handled respectfully
Showers, getting dressed, shaving, and the bathroom are personal. When a parent or spouse needs help with them, it is often the part of caregiving families find hardest to hand over. During a respite stay, that help is given patiently and with respect for privacy.
Tell us how things are done at home: what your loved one handles alone, where they need help, and anything they are sensitive about. The aim is for the routine to feel familiar, even in a new place.
What personal care covers
Only the help that is needed, in the way your loved one prefers.
Showering and washing
Help getting clean, at their pace, with privacy respected.
Getting dressed
A hand with clothes and shoes, while they do what they can themselves.
Grooming
Hair, teeth, shaving, and the details that make them feel like themselves.
Bathroom help
Discreet help when needed. Share the usual routine before the stay.
Please note: A respite stay provides everyday personal care, not nursing or medical treatment. Your loved one’s doctor stays in charge of health questions and medication changes.
