Personal Care
Personal Care
Maintaining dignity and personal appearance can often be one of the hardest aspects to manage as a result of ageing, infirmity or illness. Letting someone into our personal space to help with everything we would typically do for ourselves can be hard to come to terms with. Our team understand that this helps ensure that personal care can become a very positive experience, helping someone regain independence and pride.
Personal care includes all the daily, routine tasks we tend to take for granted; from getting dressed and maintaining oral hygiene to bathing and taking medication. Often the most individual of all the services we provide, each care team will be chosen to meet the specific needs identified in the care plan. Care workers will be appropriately qualified in the use of hoists, administering medication and all aspects of continence care. Personal care usually requires multiple visits every day of the week with calls being staffed by more than one care worker as standard.
