No two people are alike – so naturally, home care services should be highly customized to meet the diverse needs, preferences and personality types of those we serve. With that in mind, the staff at Kindness Changes Everything takes time to get to know each client and caretaker to learn what is important to that individual.

Activities of Daily Living
Bathing & Showering
Caregivers can do everything from helping a client in and out of the shower to full bed baths. Part of the training includes how these services are performed with modesty in mind.
Personal Hygiene
Personal grooming tasks such as oral care, hair brushing, and shaving can be difficult for individuals to perform on their own, or simply overlooked. Caregivers can ensure that a client looks and feels good at all times.
Feeding
Making sure clients are well fed is a top priority. Caregivers can prep and serve food or provide more full-service feeding activities.
Dressing
Caregivers can ensure that a loved one is in clean, comfortable clothes at all times. Help with dressing and undressing as well as socks and shoes assistance can make an individual feel ready for the day.
Toilet Assistance & Incontinence Care
Providing mobility aids or direct support during toileting can help an individual be safe during their time in a bathroom. Caregivers are trained in sensitivity and respectfulness for a loved one’s privacy.
Mobility & Ambulation Assistance
A caregiver can safely assist a loved one with transfer and ambulations, as well as getting in and out of vehicles. We provide training on the utilization of professional mobility devices.
Who Can Receive Care?
All services can be approved for individuals of various ages and disabilities that meet DDD’s qualifying criteria, after the support coordinator completes a needs assessment.
