At Mukilteo Green House LLC, our dedicated staff encourages residents to maintain their independence to the fullest extent possible. We understand that each individual has unique needs, and our personalized personal care services are designed to provide the support they require while respecting their autonomy.
Here are the services we offer under personal care:
Eating
When appropriate, we offer a range of dining assistance, including supervising and cueing residents who may be at risk for choking or aspiration. We can also modify food textures, such as cutting into bite-sized pieces or pureeing solid foods, and provide feeding assistance when necessary.
Toileting
Our staff can assist with toileting needs, reminding residents to visit the bathroom regularly, supervising or providing standby assistance, and helping with the use of assistive devices like bedside commodes, bedpans, or urinals. We ensure that they are comfortable and maintain their dignity throughout the process.
Walking
We encourage regular exercise and can provide reminders to use assistive devices, cue residents on the correct use of medical devices, and offer standby or contact assistance during walking. Our goal is to promote mobility and independence.
Transferring
For residents who require assistance with transfers, we offer supervision, standby assistance, or one-person assistance. When needed, we can also provide Hoyer lift transfers to ensure safe and comfortable transitions.
Positioning
Our staff assists residents with changing positions or turning, especially for those at high risk of skin breakdown or bedsores. We follow a regular schedule to ensure their comfort and well-being.
Personal Hygiene
We provide comprehensive personal hygiene support, including oral care, shaving, hair styling, showers (at least twice weekly or as the resident prefers), bed baths when necessary, and assistance with the application of deodorant, lotions, makeup, and nail care.
Dressing
Whether residents need supervision, standby assistance, or total assistance with dressing, we accommodate their specific requirements and preferences.
Bathing
Our bathing services include supervision, cueing, or total assistance during showers. We conduct regular skin assessments during showers for residents who are at risk of skin issues.
