HOW IS HELP PROVIDED?

Depending on the person's level of mobility and autonomy, they will have different needs for assistance, ranging from help to get up, shower and dress, to hygienic care for the person in question.

The personal hygiene It has to be adapted to the needs of the person, taking into account that caring for a semi-autonomous person is very different from caring for a bedridden person, in the same way that caring for a healthy person is not the same as caring for a person with impaired cognitive abilities.

At the time of the personal hygiene It is essential to maintain a good relationship with the person and to do so, following these guidelines will help us:

• Create a supportive environment so that the person and caregiver feel as comfortable as possible.
• Inform at all times what we are going to do in advance.
• Listen and respect what the person tells us.
• That the person cooperates as much as possible in his personal hygiene, this way you will feel effective and stimulate areas of the body, reducing their stiffness.
• Respect the person's habits regarding hygiene, such as beard, painted nails, hairstyle, etc.
• Respect the privacy of the person, it is not comfortable for anyone to be naked in front of other people.

Caring for the personal hygiene It must be done every day. These hygiene tasks must be meticulous on the face, hands, mouth and especially on the covered parts. A continuous, but always judicious, control of the most hidden parts of the body is essential.

When the elderly person is unable to cooperate during a certain period of time when carrying out hygiene, the person in charge of his/her care will have to pay special attention to immediately recognize any signs of recovery of strength and alertness of mind, in order to make him/her collaborate at certain times.

In personal hygiene for bedridden people, it is not mandatory to completely uncover the person. They can be washed in parts and, above all, uncover the intimate areas as little as possible, avoiding colds and respecting their modesty as much as possible.
