Comfort. Dignity. Care That Feels Like Family.
Touch of Hearts knows that every child deserves care that makes them feel safe, respected, and loved. For parents and guardians of children with disabilities, day-to-day routines can be both challenging and exhausting. Our team is here to help make life easier for your family and ensure your child receives the compassionate, personalized support they need to thrive.
What is Day-to-Day Personal Care?
Day-to-Day Personal Care goes beyond assisting with daily routines. It’s about providing support that ensures comfort, dignity, and well-being while making life a little less overwhelming for families. Whether it’s helping your child get ready in the morning, assisting with meals, or supporting bedtime routines, caring professionals are ready to lend a hand.
Care plans are tailored to meet your child’s unique needs. No two children are the same, and their care shouldn’t be either. By building trust and creating familiar, comforting routines, our team becomes a seamless part of your child’s daily life.
How We Support Your Child’s Daily Needs
Providing assistance that promotes independence, comfort, and happiness is our focus. Here’s how day-to-day personal care services can help:
1. Morning Routines Made Easy
Getting ready for the day can be a challenge for children with disabilities. Whether it’s brushing teeth, dressing, or preparing for school or activities, patience and kindness guide the process.
- Assisting with personal hygiene (e.g., brushing hair and teeth)
- Helping choose clothes and get dressed
- Preparing breakfast and supporting meal routines
Mornings are made smoother for your child and family, so the day starts stress-free.
2. Assistance with Meals and Nutrition
Good nutrition is vital for your child’s health and development. Trained caregivers provide support during mealtimes while ensuring comfort and confidence.
- Preparing nutritious, child-friendly meals

- Encouraging independence during eating where possible
Mealtimes can often be emotional or challenging, so each moment is approached with care and respect, always prioritizing your child’s dignity.

Every child deserves to enjoy play and social time. For children with disabilities, personalized support can make all the difference. Support includes:
- Assisting with creative or imaginative play at home

- Encouraging participation in social games or group activities
Social and physical engagement helps your child build confidence, develop new skills, and enjoy moments of joy and inclusion.

By understanding your child’s comfort levels and preferences, every hygiene routine is made as gentle and reassuring as possible.

- Preparing for bed: changing clothes, brushing teeth, and relaxation activities like reading stories
- Creating a calming and soothing environment
- Addressing any nighttime needs for comfort or care
Families can rest assured knowing their child is cared for with warmth and attentiveness, offering well-deserved peace of mind.
