Many elderly people become touchy when the subject of bringing in a home health aid or home attendant comes up in a home health aide or home attendant. All seniors seek to maintain their dignity and privacy, which makes them resistant to the idea of in-home assistance. However, your elderly loved one may need some extra help to maintain good hygiene. After all, poor personal care can lead to serious health problems, such as rashes, bedsores, and even infections. Each of our home care aides is equipped to care for and prevent such complications, as well as to institute a daily routine of good hygiene.
In addition, new devices and technology make it easier than ever for HHA’s to keep an elderly client groomed and healthy. For instance, specially designed razors help ensure that they can shave clients without accidental cuts. Likewise, there are adult diapers that give early warnings of an impending urinary tract infection.
A good HHA will use all available resources and technology to maintain a client’s hygiene. This, in turn, can greatly improve a senior’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 psychological and physical well-being.

You simply cannot do better than Lifeworx!
Rohannie Persaud (July 2018)
"LifeWorx is a wonderful and helpful agency to work for! I happen to work with the branch located on Lexington and 65th St. The staff is incredibly kind and understanding- its truly a pleasure to work with them."
Nikita S., Brooklyn, NY (August 2015)
"I recently moved into a new apartment and needed a few things taken care of, including cleaning and AC installation. LifeWorx put us in touch with a handyman named Edison who was absolutely phenomenal. He was on time, worked efficiently, and even offered to fix a few other things he noticed were not working in our apartment.
Our cleaning lady, Alicia, was just as great. When we moved in, the apartment was an absolute mess and Alicia took the time to scrub down the kitchen and bathrooms until it looked like an entirely new apartment. It was a lot of work and I am so grateful LifeWorx was able to put us in touch with her. Will definitely reach out again with future work!"
