Home health aides deliver regular support services to individuals receiving care at home. These services help clients continue living in a familiar environment and maintain basic routines. Rebekah Health Links offers comprehensive care for our clients. Here are some services offered by home health aides:
Hygiene Support and Personal Care
Personal care is one of the primary responsibilities of home health aides. Clients who receive care at home services may need help with daily routines due to chronic health conditions or physical limitations. This includes tasks related to hygiene and toileting. Home health aides have the training to perform these tasks respectfully and safely, reducing risks like falls.
Hygiene services might include support with washing, shaving, and oral care. These services support general health. Consistent care routines also help your loved one stay on schedule for other appointments during the rest of the day.
Home health aides can assist with toileting needs, such as using the restroom or incontinence care. They will help your loved one change disposable products, monitor for signs of discomfort, and clean up after accidents. Rebekah Health Links includes these services as part of our in-home care plans.
Mobility Help and Fall Prevention
Home health aides give their support to clients who need help moving from place to place. They can assist with transferring individuals into wheelchairs, supervised walking, and getting in and out of bed. Aides have training in proper techniques to reduce strain for the client. This will prevent injuries during daily movement tasks. Some clients who receive care at home may be at risk of falling due to medical conditions or age. The aides at Rebekah Health Links assist by keeping pathways clear and helping with balance. They might also make recommendations regarding environmental changes, like rearranging furniture or removing loose rugs.
Mobility support might also include repositioning chairs or beds to prevent pressure sores and improve comfort. This is a helpful service if your loved one spends extended periods of time in one position. Aides will help your loved one safely use mobility devices like canes and walkers, helping to maintain their independence.
Meal Preparation and Nutrition Monitoring
Aides can prepare meals for clients who are unable to cook for themselves. This service includes meal planning, preparation, serving, and cleaning. Your loved one’s aide will follow instructions from care plans to adhere to physician guidance or dietary restrictions. Clients might also need help eating. Home health aides assist with feeding clients who have limited coordination or mobility. They can also monitor food intake and note changes in chewing, swallowing, or appetite. Nutrition monitoring will support overall health, especially in clients who are minimally active or have chronic conditions. Balanced meals will help maintain strength and reduce the risk of health complications.
