Bathing Service by Passion & Purpose

Overview

The Bathing service from Passion & Purpose provides seniors with compassionate, dignified assistance with personal hygiene, focusing on bathing or showering. Our trained companions offer tailored support to ensure safety, comfort, and independence, enhancing well-being through a respectful, personalized approach. This service promotes physical health and emotional confidence in a nurturing environment.

How the Service Works for the Elderly

For elderly clients, the Bathing service is designed to be safe, respectful, 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 phone or in-person consultation to assess the client’s specific bathing needs, mobility level, health conditions (e.g., arthritis, balance issues, or cognitive challenges), and preferences (e.g., bath vs. shower). This ensures a tailored, comfortable plan.
2. Companion Matching: We pair the client with a compassionate, background-checked companion trained in elderly care and personal hygiene assistance. Companions use gentle, dignified techniques to support clients while maintaining privacy and respect.
3. Session Setup and Delivery: Sessions occur in the client’s home or assisted living facility, typically lasting 30-60 minutes. Companions assist with tasks like preparing the bathing area, helping with transfers (e.g., into a shower chair), and supporting washing or grooming, using safety aids like non-slip mats or grab bars. The focus is on client comfort and autonomy.
4. Ongoing Support: Companions monitor safety and comfort, adjusting assistance to prevent falls or discomfort. They create a calm, reassuring atmosphere, encouraging client input to maintain dignity.
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 needs.

This approach ensures bathing support feels empowering and respectful, helping seniors maintain hygiene with ease.
