Bathing & dressing assistance dignity preserving personal care at Lamset Haya

A Comprehensive Approach to Bathing and Dressing

Our care team provides a comprehensive service that addresses every aspect of personal hygiene with meticulous attention to detail. This is not a rushed or impersonal process; it is a time for one-on-one interaction, a chance for our caregivers to connect with residents and ensure their well-being.

The bathing process at “Lamsat Hayah” is designed to be a safe, comfortable, and positive experience. Our caregivers are trained to provide support while respecting the resident’s privacy at all times.

• Providing a Safe and Comfortable Bathing Environment: Our bathrooms are equipped with the latest safety features, including grab bars strategically placed near the toilet and in the shower, and non-slip mats on the floor. Adjustable showerheads, walk-in tubs, and shower chairs are also available to accommodate varying levels of mobility. This equipment not only prevents falls but also allows residents to feel more secure and confident during the bathing process. The entire environment is meticulously maintained for cleanliness and hygiene.
• Personalized and Supportive Assistance: Our team provides the necessary physical support during bathing, whether it’s helping a resident into the shower, washing their hair, or assisting with hard-to-reach areas. We are also trained to handle residents with specific health conditions, such as those with sensitive skin, chronic pain, or limited mobility, ensuring that the water temperature and pressure are appropriate and that all products used are gentle and non-irritating. The process is always supervised in a manner that ensures complete safety without compromising dignity.
• Encouraging Independence: A key part of our bathing assistance is promoting as much independence as possible. We encourage residents to wash themselves where they are able, providing verbal cues and gentle physical support only where needed. For example, a caregiver might hand the resident the soap and a washcloth and provide encouragement while they wash their own arms and legs. This approach helps maintain their motor skills and a sense of autonomy.
• Post-Bathing Care: After bathing, our caregivers ensure that residents are thoroughly dried to prevent skin irritation and are moisturized with lotions to maintain skin health. This attention to detail is part of our commitment to holistic care.

Getting dressed is an act of self-expression and a crucial part of a person’s identity. Our dressing assistance service is designed to make this process easy and enjoyable.

• Assisting with Appropriate Clothing Selection: Our caregivers help residents choose clothes that not only suit the weather but also reflect their personal style and taste. We understand that what a person wears can greatly impact their mood and self-confidence. We take the time to learn about each resident’s preferences, whether they prefer a particular color, fabric, or style. For residents with cognitive impairments, this assistance is even more critical, as it provides a sense of routine and comfort.
• Preserving Residents’ Independence: Similar to our approach to bathing, we empower residents to participate in the dressing process as much as they can. We might lay out the clothes and provide verbal guidance, or assist with buttons and zippers while the resident handles other parts of the process. This helps maintain their fine motor skills and boosts their self-esteem.
• Adapting to Mobility Challenges: For residents with mobility issues, our caregivers are trained in techniques that make dressing easier and less strenuous. This includes using adaptive clothing with velcro or magnetic closures, or helping the resident to dress in a way that minimizes discomfort.
