Joe Jedlowski, explains that personal care (also known as custodial care) encompasses what are known as "ADL”–activities of daily living. These commonly include:
Cooking and cleaning
eating
bathing
dressing
using the toilet
getting around the house (mobility)
Additional personal care support may provide assistance with:
transportation around the community
medication reminders
finding companionship
participating in social and recreational activities
While an independent living senior community does not provide personal care in the home, the various types of assisted living facilities do.
I need to know what to expect during an elderly home companionship interview?
I live in an apartment with an elderly (70) mom who is home bound and a 6 yr old, so looking for suggestions on a small to medium-sized gentle and sensitive dog that would be good for companionship to both.
I am thinking about open a senior care group home using my own home, but I do not know how likely people would like to come comparing to big assisted living facility. Actually I can offer much better detailed and more private services like one on one certified nurse aid and shared registered nurse care plus shared chef. Only 5-7 seniors in one M house. Each client will have seperate bedroom and will have 24 hours care just like day time service. The monthly fee may be around 000 per person, but it will include everything such as individualized food, utility, room, daily housekeeping service, personal and health care services and companionship 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, plus any time transportation. The environment is also very clean, neat and ultra luxury. How many people would like to choose my service comparing to the traditional assisted care facility?
