Keeping Seniors Safe In Summers - Curodoc Healthcare

We all know that attendants are an integral part of home healthcare and are the biggest sources of support of the patient and their families.
1. A morning routine is very necessary to feel fresh after a good sleep. Our caregivers are trained and help the patient with
· Teeth/Dental Cleaning – helping them maintain
good oral hygiene.
· Bathing/Shower – assisting in showering them or
sponging them as required.
· Body Lotion Application – helping them with any
skin care regime that they follow.
· Clothing Assistance – getting them ready for the day in comfortable clothes.
Throughout the day, we use the washroom numerous times and so do the patients. It is not something to be ashamed of but a natural process. Our attendants help by
· Providing Toilet Assistance – taking them to the
washroom or helping use a urinal or bedpan.
· Changing soiled diapers
· Changing soiled clothes
Overall looks do matter, and you feel like you look. So, maintaining the good looks of the patient is very important for them to feel fresh and sharp. These duties can be done weekly or bi-monthly.
· Shaving
· Hair Trimming
· Fingernail and Toenail Trimming
· Ear Cleaning
· Assist in feeding.
· Ensure sufficient fluid intake.
· Assist with walking around and home exercises
· Turn positions regularly in bed
· Massage the joints and muscles to make them
stronger
· Tidy up and maintain the patient’s room.
· Make and change bed as required.
· Take out trash from the patient’s room.
6.The most important role that they play is being a companion to the patient. They are always around them, talking to them, listening to them, and entertaining them. They might even spend time in engaging with other family members and encouraging them to spend time with the patient.
