Older Adults and Bathing

It is a common call. A loved one picks up the phone and asks if we can push our caregiver (which has usually become part of the family) to encourage mom or dad to bathe…change clothes. Lack of hygiene is an indicator of where a senior is in managing their daily life. Cognition might be good and you will rarely hear complaints.

Dad’s clothes are stained and an he generally seems disheveled. In close proximity an odor is present. Doing laundry and getting in/out of a bath can become more difficult if mobility is in decline.

Our caregivers are trained to urge clients to bathe, be cautious about navigating their space and be on top of medications. In the case of bating, not doing so can man a urinary tract infection…a common reason seniors end up in the hospital. And, while a caregiver cannot insist dad bathes, a little creative encouragement usually gets the job done.

An article on Daily Caring addresses seniors and bathing. If your older adult lacks proper hygiene, don’t ignore it…ask questions and be creative in encouraging they clean up. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Home Health Hair of Atlanta…You are as Beautiful as You Feel!

I have mentioned the senior ecosystem many times in my posts and this is another in the series on that topihhhlogo[2]c. As the older adult market continues to expand, so do services geared towards them. I continue to be amazed by the creativity and compassion I see in my fellow service providers.

Every week, a 92-year-old friend of mine makes a pilgrimage to the salon. Occasionally, I drive her. When I first was her chauffer it was a pretty quick trip. But lately, complications in her healthy have made it more and more difficult. He big weekly “social” was often put on hold and she suffered through no shampoo for a couple weeks at a time. I hated that. We’d visit at her house which helped, but she complained about her hair. Seems wanting to look presentable is not solely reserved for the young.

I first met Carolyn Marsh at a senior networking event of a lovely facility called Tapestry House in Roswell (an Insignia property). Carolyn owns a company called Home Healthy Hair (HHH) and at the meeting, she got up and did a brief spiel about her company. It is a remarkably simple yet brilliant concept. They take the salon to the older adult! Seems like the most ingenious concepts often the simplest! Way to go Carolyn!Carolyn

Home Health Hair is a full service provider of hair and skin care in the home. They specialize in not only hair and skin, but also nails, reflexology…cosmetology (even aroma therapy!) all for older adults!  HHH comes directly to the client wherever they reside, and is flexible about scheduling to make the service stress free and convenient.

Carolyn is a licensed Master Cosmetologist and is licensed in Aesthetics/beauty. She loves transforming a client into something truly special (remember, you are as beautiful as you feel!). She also is licensed in reflexology and does targeted massage of the feet, hands, and ears. The method of treatment is based on the principle that certain reflex zones in the body correspond to different body parts all of which are connected. The end result is greatly improved circulation and stress reduction for the client.

In her spare time, Carolyn is also a professional make-up artist and practices her art in film, theater and variety of other places.

Home Health HairI have mentioned Home Health Hair to my 92-year-old friend on numerous occasions. She remains steadfast on heading to the salon weekly (as she is able) but one of these days, I’ll get her to give it a try. And something tells me she will be happy she did!

If you want to speak to Carolyn or contact her about her company, her information is below. Thanks for doing what you do Home Health Hair! We all can use a little assist in feeling beautiful now and then!

What Our Clients Say

Wonderful Care! ★★★★★ 5 out of 5 – by Laura S. on Aug 14, 2017

My parents recently relocated to Atlanta to be closer to family. My father has Alzheimer’s disease requiring assistance with all activities of daily living. My mother’s goal has been to care for him at home and Caring Companions has made this goal a reality. The caregivers who assist my parents were selected with care to be a good “fit.” They are even better than I had hoped for. Both of my parents look forward to seeing them because they are so kind and respectful. They go above and beyond to support my family. I could not be more pleased with the caregivers and Adam Seever! Caring companions has truly exceeded my expectations!
