Personal care services include compassionate help with bathing and grooming, ensuring safety and dignity during these intimate tasks. In Clarksville, where many seniors live in homes with challenging bathroom layouts, having experienced assistance prevents falls and maintains personal hygiene.
Our caregivers provide gentle support whether you need verbal prompts, standby assistance, or full physical help. We respect your privacy, work at your pace, and make sure you feel comfortable throughout. This isn’t just about getting clean. It’s about maintaining the confidence that comes with feeling well-groomed and living your best life.
Getting dressed each morning sets the tone for the day, and we help make it easier. Our caregivers assist with selecting appropriate clothing, managing buttons and zippers, and providing physical support when mobility or balance makes dressing difficult.
Whether you need help with compression stockings, adaptive clothing, or just steadying yourself while getting dressed, we’re there. We encourage as much independence as possible while providing the assistance you actually need, helping you start each day feeling capable and ready.
Moving safely around your home, getting in and out of chairs, or transferring from bed to wheelchair requires strength and balance. Our caregivers provide mobility support that prevents falls and gives you the confidence to move freely in your own space.
We assist with walking, using mobility aids properly, and transferring safely between surfaces. Our caregivers are trained in proper body mechanics to protect both you and them during transfers, and we adapt our support as your needs change over time.
Dignified assistance with toileting and incontinence care helps you maintain comfort and hygiene without embarrassment. Our caregivers understand this is sensitive, and they approach these tasks with professionalism, respect, and genuine compassion.
We provide reminders for scheduled toileting, physical assistance when needed, and discreet incontinence care that preserves your dignity. You’ll never feel rushed or judged. We’re here to help you stay comfortable, clean, and confident.
Taking medications correctly and on schedule is essential for managing chronic conditions and recovering from illness or surgery. Our caregivers provide medication reminders that help you stay on track with your healthcare plan.
We’ll remind you when it’s time to take medications, ensure you have water, and note any concerns we observe. While we don’t administer medications, our consistent reminders prevent missed doses and help you avoid dangerous medication errors.
Beyond bathing, personal hygiene includes oral care, nail care, and other daily hygiene tasks that become difficult with age or disability. Our caregivers help with brushing teeth, denture care, hand washing, and maintaining overall cleanliness throughout the day.
These small acts of care make a big difference in comfort, health, and self-esteem. We approach hygiene assistance with patience and respect, understanding that asking for help with these intimate tasks takes courage.

We’ve been providing home care for over 40 years, and we’re still a family-operated business with founders actively mentoring franchise owners.

Personal care includes hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, and personal hygiene, while companion care focuses on social interaction, light housekeeping, and emotional support. If your loved one needs physical help with daily living activities but can’t safely do them alone, personal care is essential. If they’re physically independent but struggle with loneliness or light household tasks, companion care might be better. We’ll help you decide during your consultation, and we’re happy to talk through your specific situation.
Personal care visits can be as short as one hour for medication reminders and quick assistance, or extend to 24-hour live-in arrangements for constant support. Most families start with a few hours daily for morning routines like bathing and dressing, then adjust based on changing needs. We’re flexible and can increase hours as abilities decline or decrease during recovery periods.
If you’re noticing your loved one struggles with bathing safely, has difficulty dressing independently, experiences frequent falls or balance issues, or forgets to take medications regularly, it’s time to consider personal care. Signs also include declining hygiene, difficulty using the toilet independently, or recovering from surgery or illness that temporarily limits mobility. Many families research options after a fall or hospitalization, but starting personal care earlier often prevents these crises and helps people live their best life at home.
