Personal Care

It can be daunting to accept help with your personal care needs for the first time. We are here to create a care plan tailored to your needs in the comfort of your own home to enable you to retain as much independence as possible.

Our care workers are fully trained and will deliver all personal care with continuity, dignity, and respect. We can be there to complete all tasks for you or alternatively, we can just be in the house for support while you carry out the tasks. A full care plan will be drawn up prior to care starting and all preferences to personal care needs will be documented and adhered to.

Personal care services include assistance with:

Bathing

Your carer is able to fully support you with your bathing/showering/strip wash requirements. They can assist you with getting in and out of the bath or shower safely, as well as washing and drying your hair and body, if required, in a way that ensures your dignity is respected.

Dressing

If you require assistance with getting dressed and undressed, you can rely on your carer to provide support to make things easier for you.

Transferring and Positioning

A key part of our staff training is moving and handling individuals. Your support plan will inform us on how to support you with your mobility and transfers in a way that is safe and maintains your natural posture. This not only promotes health and safety but maintains proper functioning of the body's anatomy, avoiding damage or discomfort.

Continence

We can schedule specific visits to assist with all toileting and incontinence needs. This offers peace of mind and ensures cases of incontinence are dealt with as soon as possible, avoiding any damage to the skin.
