When bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, or other personal routines become difficult because of age, illness, disability, or changes in physical ability, hands-on assistance can help a person manage these activities at home. Personal care is intended for individuals who need support with routine activities of daily living while remaining in their familiar home environment. This type of assistance may be particularly relevant for seniors and individuals whose functional abilities have changed following an illness, injury, or other health circumstance. In Culpeper County, personal care can be incorporated into the individual’s regular routines based on the assistance they need.
How It Works
Support may include assistance with everyday personal routines such as:
Bathing and personal hygiene
Dressing and grooming
Toileting and related personal care
Assistance with mobility during daily routines
Meal-related assistance
Other routine activities of daily living
What to Expect
Personal care is generally provided during scheduled home visits, with assistance focused on the activities the individual has difficulty completing independently. The caregiver supports the person while allowing them to participate in tasks to the extent they are able. The type and level of assistance may be adjusted as the individual’s daily needs or functional abilities change.
