Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) Service by Passion & Purpose

Overview

The Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) service from Passion & Purpose supports seniors with personalized assistance in essential daily tasks, such as bathing, dressing, eating, and mobility. Our trained companions provide compassionate, dignified help tailored to each client’s needs, promoting independence and comfort. This service enhances quality of life by ensuring seniors can navigate daily routines safely and confidently.

How the Service Works for the Elderly

For elderly clients, the ADLs service is designed to be respectful, supportive, and accommodating of physical or cognitive limitations. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how it works:

1. Initial Consultation: A Passion & Purpose coordinator conducts a thorough phone or in-person consultation to assess the client’s specific ADL needs, health conditions (e.g., mobility issues, arthritis, or cognitive challenges), and preferences. This ensures a tailored plan for tasks like grooming or meal preparation.
2. Companion Matching: We pair the client with a compassionate, background-checked companion trained in elderly care and ADL assistance. Companions use techniques like gentle guidance and adaptive aids to support clients while preserving dignity.
3. Session Setup and Delivery: Sessions occur at the client’s home or assisted living facility, typically lasting 1-3 hours, depending on needs. Companions assist with tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, or mobility (e.g., transferring from bed to chair). They prioritize safety and comfort, using tools like grab bars or non-slip mats as needed.
4. Ongoing Support: Companions monitor the client’s well-being, adjusting assistance to maintain independence and ensure safety. They create a positive, respectful atmosphere, encouraging client input and comfort throughout.
5. Follow-Up and Customization: After each session, the companion provides feedback to the coordinator, and clients or families receive updates. Sessions can be scheduled daily, weekly, or as needed, with plans adjusted to reflect changing health or preferences.

This approach ensures ADL support feels empowering and respectful, helping seniors maintain their routines with ease.
