What is Toileting Assistance?

The term “toileting assistance” describes the support services given to those who need aid with maintaining their ostomy or catheter cleanliness, going to the bathroom, or caring for incontinence. This includes a variety of tasks such as assisting the client with getting to and from the restroom, dressing them afterwards, giving them stability and support while they use the facilities, and doing a thorough cleaning and maintaining their hygiene after using the restroom.

At ComforHome, toileting assistance is offered by kind, knowledgeable caregivers who value the privacy and dignity of their clients. For that reason, an evaluation is conducted at the start of the process to determine the unique needs of each client. Then, based on these requirements, caregivers are paired to ensure they can provide the appropriate degree of assistance while encouraging the greatest amount of independence.
