Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
At Golden Age Caregivers, we specialize in providing compassionate, personalized assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) — the essential tasks that allow seniors to remain independent and safe in the comfort of their own homes. As aging progresses, many seniors begin to struggle with daily routines that were once second nature. Our trained caregivers offer respectful, dignified support while preserving as much independence as possible.
What Are Activities of Daily Living?
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are the basic self-care tasks that every person performs each day. When seniors face physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges that interfere with these tasks, the need for reliable support becomes critical.
Core ADLs we assist with include:
Bathing & Hygiene
Gentle assistance with bathing, showering, grooming, hair care, and personal hygiene to ensure comfort, cleanliness, and dignity.Dressing & Grooming
Help with choosing appropriate clothing, dressing, and managing grooming routines like shaving, brushing hair, and oral hygiene.Mobility Assistance
Safe transfers, walking support, bed positioning, fall prevention, and help moving safely throughout the home.Toileting & Continence Care
Assistance with bathroom routines, continence support, and management of incontinence products with discretion and respect.Eating & Meal Support
Help with meal setup, feeding if necessary, and ensuring proper nutrition and hydration based on each client’s needs.
Why Assistance with ADLs Matters
Without reliable help with ADLs, many seniors risk falls, malnutrition, poor hygiene, and emotional distress. Our caregivers provide consistent support that gives both seniors and their families peace of mind.
