Attendant care services refer to hands-on assistance for people with special needs and seniors enrolled in our program who have a physical disability and cannot manage their activities of daily living without assistance.
As needed, our attendant care services can be arranged to include delegated nursing care services.
Attendant care services include some or all of the following:
- Bathing
- Toileting
- Mobility
- Eating or feeding
- Dressing
- Medication management
Toileting duties include addressing bladder and bowel needs, maintaining bedpan routines, and moving people to and from the bathroom.
Attendant care can also include transferring people from a bed, chair, or other location to another place indoors or out of doors. Patients who need help getting dressed or changing clothes can do so with the help of a qualified professional by their side.
Skilled attendants receive training in how to move, turn, and position the patients’ bodies while they are in a bed or wheelchair to keep them healthy and comfortable.
People who need help with nutritional planning, meal preparation, and help with special diets can get assistance and support from their attendant caregiver.
Attendant caregivers can be helpful in ensuring that your loved one takes the right medications at the right time in the right dosages, as prescribed by the patient’s physician.
Our attendants that administer medications have been certified as nursing assistants and medicine aides.
An attendant caregiver often helps with physical movements such as transferring a patient from a bed or chair and helping move them outdoors to get fresh air. A patient or senior may also need help with moving, positioning, or turning their body while in a bed or wheelchair.
Kitchen help may include nutritional planning, helping prepare foods for a prescribed diet plan, and assisting with feeding or drinking.
Overall, attendant care enables your loved one to remain as independent as possible in all settings and environments.
