Personal Support Care: Comprehensive, Compassionate, Customized
At Assurance, we understand the unique challenges that come with aging and various health issues. Living comfortably may feel like a unique challenge, but our personal support care in Toronto ensures that remaining at home and maintaining daily routines can be done. After all, this sense of familiarity is essential for a high quality of life. Our specialized services are designed around tailored care that covers every need possible.
Meeting Diverse Needs with Sensitivity and Expertise
Our PSWs are more than just caregivers—they become trusted companions and vital parts of your support system. These professionals are trained both in technical skills needed to provide top-notch care but also in the softer skills of empathy, patience, and respect. Here’s how we support your loved one with professionalism and a personal touch:
- Bathing & Personal Hygiene: Personal hygiene is about much more than cleanliness—it’s about self-esteem and feeling good. Our PSWs provide gentle, respectful assistance with bathing, grooming, and oral hygiene.
- Personal Appearance: Whether it’s dressing for a special occasion or just feeling good about the day ahead, our PSWs support grooming and clothing choices that empower and uplift.
- Washroom Assistance: We understand that needing help in the bathroom can feel uncomfortable. Our PSWs are trained to provide washroom support that maintains dignity, offering gentle, unobtrusive assistance.
- Incontinence Care: Dealing with incontinence can be a sensitive issue, and we’re here to provide care that is discreet, understanding, and entirely focused on overall comfort and skin health. Our PSWs handle these moments with the utmost respect, helping to reduce anxiety and maintain self-respect.
- Morning and Bedtime Routines: The start and end of each day set the tone for everything in between. Our caregivers assist with morning routines, and they help wind down at night with calming bedtime rituals, bringing a sense of peace and consistency to every day.
- Transfer Assistance: Safe mobility is crucial for maintaining independence. Our PSWs are skilled in assisting with various types of transfers, including bed-to-chair, wheelchair-to-car, and more. Every movement is handled with safety as the top priority, helping to reduce the risk of falls and injuries.
- Meal Assistance: Proper nutrition is essential, and our PSWs offer support from meal preparation to feeding assistance, ensuring dietary needs are met with nutritious, enjoyable options that respect dietary preferences or restrictions.
- Light Housekeeping: A tidy home environment contributes significantly to overall well-being. Our caregivers help with light housekeeping tasks like tidying up, laundry, and organizing.
- Medication Reminders: Keeping track of medications can be overwhelming, especially with multiple prescriptions. Our PSWs provide gentle reminders, ensuring that medications are taken correctly and on time.
Assurance takes great care in selecting our PSWs, not just for their skills but for their character and dedication to caregiving. Each PSW undergoes thorough background checks, including police and vulnerable sector screenings, and engages in continuous training to stay current with best practices. You can trust that you or your loved one is receiving expert care and compassionate, reliable support.
