Bathing And Meal Preparation

BATHING SERVICES

On average, approximately 370 people of all ages sustain injuries in the bathtub or shower every day in the United States. Approximately 20 percent of those injuries come from the elderly over 65 years of age. A recent study found that 9 percent of the elderly population considered bathing one of the most difficult tasks. Loss of independence and other modesty issues make asking for help with bathing a very difficult decision.

While bathing is important on a physiological level for washing away materials that can interfere with the normal functioning of the skin, the psychological aspects of refreshing, reviving, and relaxing an individual are invaluable for maintaining a positive outlook.

Horizon Care Services prides itself in finding compassionate caregivers who understand the delicate situation with providing bathing and grooming assistance.

MEAL PREPARATION

Whether it’s preparing a cold snack or preparing a complete hot meal, our caregivers can make sure that you are getting your daily sustenance. They will work closely with you to create meals that meet your tastes and nutritional requirements, and all on a schedule that is convenient to your daily routine.

In most cases, caregivers can take you food shopping, or even go shopping for you, to make sure you have all of the items you need for your daily diet.
