Personal care at home in the Twin Cities
Help with bathing, dressing, grooming and hygiene — given the way your loved one wants it, by someone they know.
Free, no obligation. We'll tell you honestly what we'd recommend — including if that's nothing yet.
What's included
A care plan is built around what your loved one actually needs — this is the range it's drawn from.
- Bathing, showering and washing
- Dressing and undressing
- Hair, skin and nail care
- Shaving and oral care
- Toileting and continence support
- A steady arm for walking, stairs and getting up from a chair
- Standby support so someone is there if balance goes
The part families find hardest to ask about
Personal care is the service people put off longest. Helping a parent wash is a line most families never expected to cross, and plenty of adult children tell us they waited months longer than they should have because raising it felt impossible.
It is usually easier for everyone when the help comes from outside the family. A caregiver is not a daughter or a son. There is no history in the room, and for a lot of older adults that makes accepting help far less difficult than it would be from someone they raised.
Support, not takeover
Our caregivers are trained to do as little as necessary. If someone can still wash their own face, they wash their own face. The goal is never speed — it is that the person keeps doing what they can, for as long as they can, with help for the rest.
That matters beyond dignity. Ability that goes unused tends to disappear, and the fastest way to make someone dependent is to do everything for them because it takes half the time.
The same caregiver, wherever we can
Personal care is intimate work. It goes better when it is not a different stranger every visit, so we keep the same caregiver on a schedule wherever staffing allows, and we introduce anyone new before they start.
If the match is wrong, tell us. Preferring a different caregiver is not a complaint and you will not be asked to justify it — some pairings simply work better than others.
Who this is for
Someone managing well at home overall, but finding washing, dressing or moving around harder or less safe than it used to be.
