Personal Care
McKenney Home Care provides personal care in clients’ homes allowing them to live comfortably and independently. We take a holistic, approach, ensuring individualized and appropriate services are provided.

Bathing, Grooming and Hygiene
For individuals with physical or cognitive impairments or who might fear falling while bathing, assistance maintaining a bath-time routine can postpone future decline and disability. We assist clients with their personal care routines so they can look and feel their best every day.
Mobility
Getting out and about offers physical and mental benefits to clients. But getting about can be difficult for those with mobility issues. We can assist with ambulation, transferring, positioning, lifting, performing range of motion exercises etc.
Nutrition and Hydration
Maintaining proper nutrition is critical to quality of life, however for those that have difficulty feeding themselves, or have problems with cutting, chewing and digestion or difficulty tasting and smelling, eating can become a chore. A little daily assistance with eating and drinking can make a vast improvement to the well being of an individual.
Toileting and Incontinence Care
The embarrassment that goes along with the need for toileting or incontinence care cannot be overstated. But gentle, sensitive assistance can prevent skin infections, unpleasant odors and other dangerous complications. Allowing a person to maintain their dignity and sense of privacy is critical to successful care.
Assistive Devices
Improper use of assistive devices can be a danger. Assistance with walkers, wheelchairs and other devices can go a long way to helping an individual maintain mobility and independence.
Data Gathering
Supporting physicians in monitoring a persons condition can include temperature, pulse, blood pressure, measuring oral intake, urinary output etc.
