The home is a private space and should be comfortable, but it is important to prevent accidents and maintain a safe environment for you and your care recipient. Use our
home safety checklist as a guideline for your situation and to address any future safety concerns.
You may be responsible for many levels of care; from dressing and bathing to shopping and laundry. Personal care includes assisting with using the toilet if your loved one is continent, or maintaining comfort and dignity if they are not. Incontinence Fundamentals gives caregivers the information to help identify incontinence needs, ensure dryness and skin integrity, as well as understanding the health risks of incontinence.
