You’ve Found Empowering Daily Living With Compassionate, Professional Support
Maintaining independence at home can become challenging for many individuals due to age, chronic illness, injury, or disability. Simple tasks like getting out of bed, walking to the bathroom, preparing meals, or climbing stairs may become difficult — or even dangerous — without the right kind of help. That’s where in-home physical assistance comes in.
Frieda Home Care offers expert, compassionate physical assistance services tailored to your individual needs, all within the safety and comfort of your home. Whether you need support a few hours a day or full-time help, our trained caregivers are ready to provide reliable, respectful, and dignified assistance that enhances safety, mobility, and quality of life.
What Is Physical Assistance?
Physical assistance refers to hands-on help with physical tasks that someone is unable to do alone. It is different from skilled medical care in that it focuses on helping with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) — not on clinical interventions or therapies.
Our team helps clients with tasks such as:
-
Transferring from bed to wheelchair
-
Walking safely with or without a walker or cane
-
Bathing, grooming, and dressing
-
Toileting and incontinence care
-
Light housework and laundry
-
Meal preparation and feeding
-
Positioning in bed or wheelchair to prevent pressure injuries
-
Accompanying clients on short walks or exercise routines
Our caregivers are trained in proper body mechanics, safe transfer techniques, and mobility assistance strategies to prevent falls and injuries — for both the client and themselves.
Who Benefits From In-Home Physical Assistance?
Our physical assistance services are designed for individuals facing temporary or long-term challenges, including:
-
Older adults with limited strength, endurance, or balance
-
People with disabilities such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or developmental delays
-
Individuals recovering from surgery, stroke, or injury
-
Patients with chronic diseases such as Parkinson’s, MS, or arthritis
-
Anyone with mobility limitations requiring assistance to move safely
Families who are juggling work, parenting, or out-of-state responsibilities can also benefit from peace of mind knowing their loved one is receiving professional support.
Why Choose Frieda Home Care?
1. Trained, Experienced Caregivers
Our personal care aides and certified nursing assistants (CNAs) undergo extensive training in mobility assistance, fall prevention, infection control, and client-centered communication. Each caregiver is carefully matched based on personality, skills, and schedule.
2. Customized Care Plans
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Our team creates a personalized support plan for every client based on their medical history, functional ability, living environment, and personal goals.
3. Home Safety Assessments
Our initial visits include a full assessment of the home layout, identifying hazards and recommending modifications (e.g., grab bars, non-slip rugs, lighting). Preventing falls is one of our top priorities.
4. Dignified, Respectful Support
We know that accepting physical help can feel vulnerable. Our caregivers are trained to preserve dignity and autonomy, allowing clients to participate as fully as possible in their daily routines.
5. Communication With Families
We keep family members informed with visit summaries, progress updates, and alerts if needs change. Your peace of mind is part of our mission.

Real-Life Scenarios of Physical Assistance in Action
Scenario 1: Aging Parent Living Alone
Mrs. Langford, age 86, lives alone and has arthritis in both knees. Getting in and out of the tub became unsafe. Frieda Home Care sends a caregiver five days a week to assist with bathing, dressing, and morning routines. The caregiver also helps her walk short distances using her walker and keeps her hydrated with meal prep and reminders.
Scenario 2: Stroke Recovery With Limited Use of Left Side
Mr. Perez had a stroke affecting his left arm and leg. He needed assistance with transfers, showering, dressing, and navigating his home. Frieda Home Care provided a CNA trained in stroke mobility techniques who assisted him with physical tasks and helped reduce the burden on his wife, who had become his full-time caregiver.
Scenario 3: Parkinson’s Disease With Progressive Weakness
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson both have mobility limitations. Mrs. Johnson has Parkinson’s disease and was at high risk for falls during the night. A Frieda Home Care aide visits nightly to assist with bed transfers and toileting. Since receiving care, she hasn’t had a fall in over six months.
