Bringing in a home health aide or home attendant is one of the touchiest subjects for seniors. All seniors seek to maintain their dignity and privacy, which makes them resistant to the idea of a home attendant. However, he or she may need one to maintain good hygiene. After all, the consequences of poor personal care can become serious, leading to rashes, bedsores, and even infections. Each of our home care aides is equipped to care for and prevent such incidents. With the right HHA for your loved one, you can trust them to institute a daily routine of good hygiene.
In addition, new devices and technology make it easier than ever for an in-home health aide to keep an elderly client groomed and healthy. For instance, specially designed razors help ensure that a home care aide can shave clients without accidental cuts. Likewise, there are adult diapers that give early warnings of an impending urinary tract infection. It is now easier than ever for a home care aide to care for the needs of your loved one.
A good HHA will use all available resources and technology to institute a daily routine of good hygiene. This, in turn, can greatly improve your loved one’s quality of life. Once an elder has been properly cared for, including having been showered and groomed, their self-esteem rises. They’re more likely to be active and to venture outside, which is essential for good psychological and physical well-being.

Very sweet and always available when I had questions . My experience was short sweet and to the point . Highly recommend and would reach out to them again whenever I’m searching for a job!"
Fun F., Stamford, CT (February 2015)
"I work as a Personal Assistant. I first encountered Lifeworx when I was searching for candidates to staff an employers home in Greenwich, CT. We were provided with fantastic candidates for full time positions and really strong workers for those roles we just needed fill ins for. There were numerous positions filled over a few years and the care Lifeworx took to make sure the client was happy is not something I've come across with many agencies.
A year ago I decided to make a change and Lifeworx represented me. They placed me on a contract basis with a client. After a few months the client decided to hire me as a full time employee. I'm told I wasn't the only candidate the client interviewed but the strong recommendation to meet me that Lifeworx gave was worth it.
I feel they found me a position ideal for my situation, and it seems that the understanding they have of the clients needs was spot on."
