Personal Care

Services

Support with daily living

Personal care services may include assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, mobility, and other approved daily living tasks based on an individual’s assessed needs and care plan.

Our focus is preserving dignity and supporting each person’s preferences, abilities, and routines.

Specific tasks depend on assessment, authorization, staff qualifications, and program rules.

Dignity and choice in everyday activities

Personal care may involve help with bathing, showering, grooming, dressing, toileting, incontinence care, walking, and safe movement around the home. Caregivers should explain each task, respect privacy, and encourage the client to do what they can independently.

Morning and evening routines

A morning visit may focus on getting out of bed, dressing, grooming, breakfast, and preparing for the day. Evening assistance may include hygiene, changing clothes, setting out essentials, and preparing for bedtime. Visit plans can be adapted to individual preferences and staffing availability.

Mobility and fall-risk awareness

A clear walking path, suitable footwear, good lighting, and easy access to frequently used items can make everyday routines safer. Families should share transfer instructions and equipment needs before care begins. Caregivers should follow their training and the client’s approved care plan rather than perform tasks outside their scope.

What to discuss during an assessment

Tell TLC which activities are difficult, when help is needed, whether mobility aids are used, and how the client prefers assistance to be provided. Ask how changes in needs are communicated and when a revised care plan may be necessary.
