Grooming & Hygiene

Good hygiene and grooming are important to how we feel about ourselves.

In walking throughout Providence, you will see ladies with make-up on, hair styled, and nails painted. The gentlemen are neatly dressed and clean-shaven. These things may seem small to some, but we know that no matter what age a person is, good hygiene and grooming are important to how we feel about ourselves.

When “Activities of Daily Living” (ADL) become too difficult to do alone, our caregivers are there to assist with showers, dressing, dental care, eating, and so forth. The level of assistance that we provide varies according to each individual’s ability to independently carry out these tasks. We encourage each person to do as much as they safely can do alone. Sometimes stand-by assistance and encouragement is all that is needed. However, because our clients “age in place” there comes a time when more assistance is required. The Providence Team is there when those needs arise. With love and understanding, we balance the client’s dignity while providing safe, personal care.
