Personal care
Personal care at home
Discreet, respectful help with the most personal parts of the day, always at the person’s own pace and always with dignity.
What personal care looks like
Needing help with washing or dressing can feel like a big step. Our carers are trained to give personal care calmly and respectfully, encouraging people to do as much as they can for themselves and agreeing how they like things done.
Personal care is part of most care at home and live-in packages, and can also be arranged as short visits at the times of day help is needed most.
