That's why our services are focused on assisting members with essential day-to-day activities, providing support that is both respectful and empowering, and enhancing quality of life.

Here’s what our caregivers learn to support effectively:
- Ambulating: Caregivers are trained to assist individuals with mobility challenges, helping them move safely from one position to another, and supporting independent walking practices to enhance mobility.
- Feeding: We train caregivers on techniques to aid individuals who may have difficulties feeding themselves, ensuring they can eat safely and nutritiously from their plates to their mouths.
- Dressing: Our training includes selecting appropriate attire according to the weather and the client’s preferences, aiding in dressing, and managing overall personal appearance to foster a sense of dignity and self-esteem.
- Personal Hygiene: Caregivers learn to assist with bathing, grooming, dental care, and maintaining nail and hair health, ensuring clients feel well-cared for and respected in their personal hygiene routines.
- Continence Management: Training includes strategies to help manage and support the continence of individuals, providing discreet and compassionate care to maintain comfort and hygiene.
- Toileting: Caregivers are equipped with skills to assist clients in using the toilet, including getting to and from the toilet safely, using it effectively, and managing hygiene post-toilet use.
- Transferring: The training covers safe and effective methods to assist clients in moving between various positions and using assistive devices like walkers or wheelchairs, ensuring transfers are smooth and secure.
Each aspect of ADL training is designed not just to assist with physical tasks but also to empower our clients, promoting as much independence as possible and enhancing their quality of life. By equipping our caregivers with these essential skills, we ensure they are prepared to provide compassionate and competent care tailored to the individual needs of each client.
