Personal Care
The benefits of Personal Care
Having support with personal care, whether it’s help with dressing, bathing, or assistance with meals and medication, can make a big difference to your quality of life. We understand that personal care can be sensitive to each individual. That’s why our professional carers are discreet and take time to build a close rapport with our clients to make sure it is a more individual and personal experience.
Different people have different needs and we adapt our personal care services to suit your specific requirements. Our Community Care Assistants are trained to provide care with dignity and respect.
Our care and support also takes into account other things such as health conditions or the frailties associated with ageing and we can offer care at home services tailored for those living with life-changing or long-term illnesses such as dementia, Parkinson’s and other conditions.
As with everything else we offer, our personal care services are tailored to you and your wishes.
Areas in which we can help to deliver personal care support include:
Getting in and out of bed. Our trained carers safely assist our clients when moving into and out of bed whilst maintaining their modesty appropriately
Bed Care The use of hoists and equipment to transfer in and out of bed, skin integrity, prevention of bedsores, personal hygiene for bed-ridden clients
Dressing and undressing We give you absolute control and independence over the important issue of what clothes you choose to wear and will assist you in whichever way you choose
Bathing and personal hygiene. Care is taken to ensure you are safe at all times especially when it comes to the water temperature of any bath or shower.
Going to the toilet. We can assist you to go to the toilet and this can include, if necessary, using a commode or bedpan.
Discreet and sensitive management of the use of incontinence pads. We know that the use of incontinence pads can be embarrassing but our carers have the experience and training to make this process as comfortable and non-intrusive as possible.
Oral hygiene
Make-up and personal grooming. Haircare, nail care, skin care and shaving with an electric razor can all be undertaken by your carers
Medication support Your carer will use an electronic system to record the correct dosages and timings of your medication and we can liaise with local pharmacies to get your medication delivered on time. In addition, we can accompany you to GP and hospital appointments.

A personalised Care & Support plan
In partnership with you, we will create a customized Care and Support Plan and select a trained caregiver with the appropriate personality and character to match your needs. Our caregivers are trained to be attentive and responsive to your needs, and they are perceptive enough to recognize and respect all the subtle nuances of your care.
We believe that attentively listening to your needs and paying attention to even the smallest details can make a significant difference in how you feel about the care you receive, with the goal of aiding you in achieving fulfilment and happiness. Once our service commences, you will continue to be in control, and we will adjust your Care and Support Plan to accommodate any changes in circumstances or any changes in the way you want your care to be delivered.
We monitor your care, so you’re always at peace of mind.
As a part of our service, we employ a computerized monitoring system that utilizes mobile phones to track the punctuality of our caregivers, ensure the completion of all the tasks specified by you, and record notes on the progress of the visit. If desired, family members can be granted access to these notes, ensuring that all those who require information about the delivery of care have the necessary access.
Peace of mind, accountability and transparency are at the core of our systems and processes.
