Personal Care

Sometimes providing personal care can be difficult and even dangerous if you are not properly trained. The caregiver can be accidentally injured resulting in two people who need assistance.

Clark at Home Personal Care Aides are educated about effective and safe procedures to use when caring for clients. Services include regular baths and showers in addition to stool or bed baths. Personal grooming assistance is available including hair, skin and simple nail care. Clark at Home staff can provide medication reminders, mobility assistance, range of motion exercises and bed changes.

Our staff doesn't just perform their tasks and dash. While they are at your home, Clark at Home Personal Care Aides can also participate in other meaningful activities, provide companionship and perform household tasks according to the mutually agreed upon care plan that is created when Clark at Home is retained.

Personal Care Services can be scheduled from one to 24 hours per day. Gift certificates are available.
