What does personal care look like?

Everything that an individual does or receives assistance with to maintain their personal hygiene, appearance, and health is a part of personal care. Among the many activities that are included in CareCo’s at-home personal care services include, but are not limited to, dressing, bathing, grooming, incontinence care, and other aspects of personal care. When we take care of the individual requirements of the elderly in Las Cruces, Alamogordo, and the surrounding regions of New Mexico, we can help them age in place with respect and autonomy.

Benefits of personal care

At-home personal care promotes health and wellness

Taking a warm bath helps alleviate itchy, inflamed, or otherwise unhealthy skin while also eliminating dirt, sweat, and bacteria. Taking a bath may also help control your core temperature and blood pressure. Wearing clean clothes and participating in healthy grooming routines such as brushing teeth, combing hair, and cutting nails are also important parts of optimal hygiene and wellness. As part of our at-home personal care services, CareCo assists seniors in the Las Cruces, Alamogordo, and other communities with these activities to ensure their comfort and well-being.

At-home personal care helps with a senior's self-confidence

Taking care of one's appearance boosts one's self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-image. Being clean, well-groomed, and dressed appropriately increases the likelihood that seniors will feel good about themselves and make a good impression. Because of this, it is possible that one's mental health as well as their relationships with other people would improve. Through our at-home personal care services, we give seniors in Las Cruces and surrounding areas the help they need to stay clean and improve their quality of life in a place they are comfortable with.

At-home personal care encourages seniors to stay social

Seniors who are proud of how they look and how clean they are are less likely to feel like they need to stay inside and isolate themselves. This makes them more likely to go to social events, meet new people, and make new friends. Not only does CareCo's at-home personal care services assist clients in maintaining their personal health, but we also help clients avoid feeling lonely, which is a common issue among seniors who wish to age in place.

At-home personal care helps seniors maintain their independence

In order to maintain their independence, the elderly and those with disabilities in Las Cruces and the surrounding areas must be able to bathe, dress, and groom themselves. Fortunately, at-home personal care services provided by CareCo allow seniors to age in place with dignity and autonomy.
