Personal Care

One of the most frequently sought-after services we offer is our help with Morning Routines and Bedtime Routines. The simple task of getting out of bed and getting ready for the day sets the tone and mood for how the rest of the day will go. When you have an Empress Support Services support worker helping you succeed, it becomes a breeze, and you are ready to take on the rest of the day.

These routines often include personal hygiene assistance, brushing teeth, grooming hair, picking out an outfit, and getting dressed. And after all that is done, it’s on to breakfast or a restful night’s sleep. Our support workers can make a difference in the day-to-day quality of life that you or a loved one lives. Whether assistance is needed due to age, accident, illness, or disability, we understand and can be there for you for however long is required.
