PERSONAL CARE

At First Reliant Services Ltd, professionalism and high standards are central to what we aim to deliver. Our emphasis is on person-centred care. Our services within this area include providing all aspects of personal care for people who cannot provide it for themselves because of old age, illness or disability. This reflects in the quality of professional and caring staff we aim to attract; staff members can provide a wide range of personal care services, allowing clients to maintain their dignity and respect. 

This includes: 

Bathing and Hygiene

For many health and social reasons, good personal hygiene is essential. Our in-home private caregivers are specially trained in bathing, personal hygiene and other personal care services and always focus on preserving each client's dignity, comfort, and health.

Walking and Mobility

We recognize that our clients can benefit from physical and mental regular movement. Our caregivers carefully consider the physical limitations and comfort of each client's ability to walk, climb stairs, get in and out of vehicles, and make other routine movements as they assist them.

Transfer and Posture

In addition to helping our clients with regular movement around the home or town, our care services ensure each client maintains proper posture for eating, sitting, reading, or watching television. This helps with digestion and circulation. We can also assist with helping clients get in and out of bed or the bathroom.

Continence and Toileting Care

Our First Reliant Services home caregivers are trained and experienced in assisting urinary and bowel care. We understand toileting care's role in a client's comfort, self-esteem, and social life.

Special Diets and Meal Preparation

We work with clients, families, and nutrition professionals to plan and prepare meals according to the specific needs of our clients. This can include shopping for special diets (diabetic, low-sodium, low-trans-fat, etc.) and working to fix favourite dishes just right.

Eating Assistance

Some of our clients may have physical and emotional challenges performing essential functions. Our personal care services provide exceptional sensitivity, care, and safety for clients with these challenges.

Oral Hygiene

Our caregivers can help our clients with mouth, gum, and denture care to encourage better oral hygiene.
