What does a Personal Care service involve?

We understand that having support with daily living such as bathing or dressing can make a difference in your quality of life, helping you to stay happy at home. We understand that everyone is unique, so we ensure that support with personal care is tailored to you. We will work with you or your loved one to put together a detailed person-centred plan that our Care Professionals will follow, so that you or your loved one gets the care and support needed, in the way that you want it.Personal care assistance:
- Is dignified and respectful

- Helps families take a rest from caring

We understand that it can be an unsettling time when daily living activities such as personal hygiene, dressing and personal grooming become a struggle. It can be difficult to accept help with personal care from our loved ones, particularly those with more intimate or clinical needs. At Home Instead we say no to one-size-fits-all care. Our Care Professional will be matched with you, will take time to get to know you, and will build a trusted relationship to ensure that your care and support is personal to you and carried out in the way you want, to assist your independence. Our Care Professionals are highly trained in providing personal care assistance, including support with moving and positioning, helping with medication, mealtime support, assisting with bathing or showering, and continence care. We can also provide support with more clinical personal care activities such as catheter and stoma care, helping you to live your best life at home.
We've helped thousands of families to stay safe, comfortable and happy at home. Whatever situation you're facing, or whatever the question is, Home Instead is here to help.
