PERSONAL CARE

Having personal care from our in-home personal carers will make all the difference to your daily routine. As personal care is individual to each and every one of us, we need to know that we are in good hands. Our personal care services are respectful, gentle, and will work with you to maintain your dignity. The services are carried out in privacy, with a great degree of comfort, and can be part of a wider package, or they can be an individual service to suit your needs.

WE WORK AROUND YOU

Our personal care attendants will meet with you as well as the important people in your life, and work to identify what your exact needs are. It’s not providing you with the bare basics, it’s about giving you all of the information that you require so you can make the choices about your care options at home.

The Services we provide:

Personal care is very individual, and as we are just the support to your needs, this can encompass so many different services. These include:

Showering

One of the most important aspects of personal care is knowing that you can shower safely. The very nature of showering when having difficulty getting in and out of the cubicle can cause a lot of stress. If you have specific ailments that stop you getting in and out of the shower safely, our personal care assistants can help you to stay safe from falls in a wet area. We also understand that showering is a very private thing, and requires a lot of sensitivity, and you deserve dignity.

Toileting

We understand that going to the bathroom is a very private thing, something that nobody wants to do in the company of others. But when personal hygiene becomes an issue, and you are unable to go to the bathroom without assistance, our personal carers can help you look after your personal hygiene in a very dignified manner. We look after your best interests and understand how important hygiene is.

Personal grooming

We all want to look our best. Just because we are receiving personal care doesn’t mean that we have to forgo this. Our personal care assistants can give you the help you need to maintain your personal grooming needs. Whether this is shaving, applying makeup, or giving you special hair care for your day out, if you look good, you will feel good. We understand the importance of this.

Mobility

We provide mobility assistance so you can get in and out of bed or in and out of a chair. The hoist transfers are gentle and give you the level of assistance you need. Getting in and out of a bed or chair can be frustrating, and our hoist transfers will greatly improve your maneuverability and freedom.

Dressing and undressing

Whether you are planning a social day out or getting ready for bed, our personal care assistants can help you get dressed or undressed with the level of assistance that you require. As frustrating as it can be to try to get your clothes on by yourself, if you don’t want to feel tired after this, it’s your right to have some assistance. After all, the feeling of being unable to dress properly can be upsetting. Our personal care attendant can minimise the stress and frustration.

THE IN-HOME ASSISTED LIVING SERVICES

It is your right to live a life of comfort. We help you to focus on the things that you enjoy in life. While feeling unable to enjoy certain aspects of normal life at home can be frustrating, this is where we can take the burden.

General housekeeping

Maintaining a sense of order at home is dependent on the individual. If you are frustrated by being unable to keep your home neat and tidy, our personal care assistants can help to maintain a sense of order and balance to your household.

Domestic services

From washing dishes to a little bit of cleaning, if that unwashed dish is causing you annoyance, or there’s an item of food that needs throwing out from the fridge, but you’ve not been able to get around to it, our assistants can do this easily.

Preparing meals

We all know how important it is to eat a balanced diet. If you have been relying on meals that you put in the microwave for so long, the reality of this is not healthy in the slightest. Our carers can help to prepare meals that are diverse, nutritious, but, most importantly, tasty. If you’re someone with a diverse food palate, there is no reason why you have to rely on takeaways and ready meals.
