Our Personal Care Services
Our Personal Care service can support you with getting in and out of your bed, dressing, administering medication, bathing, and continence care at a time to suit your convenience. Maintaining your dignity is of paramount importance to us, which is why our carers will ensure you feel comfortable at all times.
- Continence
We are able to support both your urinary and fecal continence while preserving your dignity at all times. Your carer can help you to get to and from the toilet and, where required, will monitor your personal hygiene in order to ensure your health and comfort. This can include changing catheter and stoma bags, incontinence pads, and sheets, and help with bathing and changing clothing.
- Medication Assistance
You may sometimes forget to take your prescribed medication or may struggle to take it the correct way, which could put your health at serious risk. Our Personal Care team is able to alleviate this worry by prompting you to take your medication and ensure you’re taking the right dosage at the right time.
If remembering to take your medication is not a problem, but you’re unable to take it physically due to your condition, our carers may be able to help administer your medication, provided there is a clear prescription to follow.
- Bathing
Your personal carer is able to support you with your bathing requirements fully. They can assist you in getting in and out of the bath or shower safely, as well as washing and drying your hair and body if required. Should you be able to bathe independently, they are able to sit with you and offer support when needed – giving you peace of mind that someone is there to ensure your safety.
- Bed Routing
Our Personal Care team is able to assist you in getting in and out of bed at a time that suits your own routine. In addition, we can also provide support with hoisting, as required.

- Household Tasks
Our carers can assist you with light household duties as part of your personal care service and will help with tasks such as laundry, vacuuming, and washing up. In order to maintain your independence, our carers can be on hand to offer support where required.
What is Person Centered Care?
Person-centered care is an approach to healthcare and support that prioritizes the individual needs, preferences, and values of the person receiving care. It emphasizes the following key principles:
Respect for Individual Preferences: Care is tailored to align with the unique preferences, needs, and values of each person, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Involvement in Care Decisions: Individuals are actively involved in their own care planning and decision-making processes, ensuring their voices are heard and respected.
Holistic Approach: Person-centered care considers the whole person, including their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs, rather than focusing solely on medical conditions or disabilities.
Collaboration and Communication: Effective communication and collaboration among healthcare providers, caregivers, and the individual are crucial. This fosters a supportive environment where everyone works together towards the person’s goals.
Building Relationships: Strong, trusting relationships between care providers and individuals are essential for understanding personal preferences and improving overall satisfaction with care.
Focus on Well-Being: The aim is to enhance the individual’s quality of life and overall well-being, not just to manage symptoms or medical conditions.
