Dressing & Grooming Services for Seniors
In our senior years, many of the day-to-day parts of life that we’ve been doing forever can start to become challenging. Everything from climbing out of bed in the morning, using the bathroom, or even getting dressed for the day can become a frustrating obstacle.
When seniors begin to lose mobility, dressing, grooming, bathing, and other hygiene-related activities may not only be more difficult, but they can actually become dangerous (i.e., showers for the elderly may have slipping hazards).
Qualicare’s team of expert caregivers are here to ensure that every day needs like senior dressing and grooming services are handled with care, comfort, and most importantly, dignity.
Our Dressing & Grooming Services
When elderly grooming and dressing services are needed, Qualicare brings a gentle helping hand in whatever way our clients need assistance.
Whether this means picking out clothes for the day, helping clients get dressed or undressed, or even cleaning up used clothing and doing the laundry, our caregivers ensure clients have whatever help they need.
It can also be difficult for those with limited mobility to manage grooming techniques, such as brushing their hair or shaving. Qualicare can offer help with those activities as well.
Who is Best Suited for Bathing & Dressing Services?
People that are experiencing reduced mobility, coordination, or limited strength are the best suited clients for bathing and toileting assistance, as well as senior grooming and dressing services.
These types of clients can benefit from the support they’ll receive from our caregivers, without having to sacrifice the comfort and dignity that are so important to maintain for our quality of life.
Bathing services for elderly clients can also benefit people that are coping with chronic health conditions, such as diabetes and arthritis. These conditions can result in fluctuating support needs, based on the level of discomfort the client experiences each individual day.
Qualicare believes that anyone who needs in-home bathing and dressing services should be able to get the help they need, so their comfort, safety, and dignity are maintained through their golden years.
Our Bathing & Hygiene Services
Just like elderly grooming and dressing services, bathing and toileting assistance is extremely important for the comfort of seniors.
Qualicare provides bathing services for elderly clients, as well as assistance with toileting and other important hygiene-related activities, such as brushing teeth, applying deodorant, trimming nails, etc.
Whether bath assistance for the elderly or showers are needed (based on the living space and bathroom facilities available), our caregivers ensure clients are always safe and comfortable.

Dressing & Grooming Frequently Asked Questions:
Where Can Qualicare Clients Access Dressing, Grooming, and Bathing Services for Seniors?
We can assist with dressing, grooming, bathing, toileting, and other hygiene-related activities for clients that are living at home, in nursing facilities, hospitals, or within retirement communities.
Can Clients Request to Have Baths or Showers?
The options that we can provide our clients depend partially on their level of mobility and strength, as well as the bathroom facilities that are available at the client’s residence. When the client has both bath and shower facilities available and has the ability to safely do either form of cleaning, our caregivers will let the client choose their preference. In facilities that only have a shower or a bathtub, the alternative may simply not be an option.
How Much Dressing, Grooming & Bathing are Clients Allowed to Do on Their Own?
Qualicare believes in giving seniors as much freedom and independence as possible, while still ensuring that their safety and comfort are always a priority. Our caregivers will assist with whatever level of help the client requires, without taking away their ability to do some things for themselves. Qualicare’s main priority is to bring joy and wellness to our clients above all else, while ensuring they maintain some level of independence.
What if a Client Doesn’t Have a Private Bathroom for Bathing/Showering?
In the event that a client doesn’t have a full bathroom available in their private residence, our caregivers will work with the client to find alternatives. This way, we can ensure that the client’s comfort and hygiene continue to be managed regularly, even when private bathing or showering facilities are unavailable.
Will Caregivers Assist with Applying or Removing Make-up?
While our caregivers are not experts in cosmetics, they will be glad to assist with basic cosmetic needs, such as applying lipstick or other basic make-up products, which can help improve clients’ self-image and quality of daily life. They can also help remove make-up before bed at the end of the day.
