Personal care services
What do our personal care services consist of?
Sometimes it can feel pointless if you’re only going to stay in all day.
Family members may live away or maybe you are anxious about involving a loved one in your personal care. However, maintaining a personal care routine is critical to long-term health and keeping up personal hygiene can prevent many illnesses.
We work discreetly with you to create a personal care plan to help you maintain your daily routine and do so in ways that respect your privacy and dignity. Feeling fresh and clean can set you up for the day with a positive frame of mind. We’ll never rush your care, which is why our trained carers will visit for at least half an hour or as long as you need. Here’s a more detailed list of the care we provide.
Washing, bathing or showering
Helping with medication
Skincare, applying lotions and creams
Helping you get dressed or ready for bed
Putting on make-up and hair care
Footcare, looking after your feet
Changing or looking after your catheter bag
Fresh continence pads, and keeping you clean
Helping you with toileting, or using a commode or bedpan
Shaving
Preparing Meals
A fresh start: Mr H’s experience
Mr H had been struggling to keep up with personal care for quite a while and as a result, he had been in and out of hospital with the same conditions – all of which were linked to his reduced levels of care.
We worked with Mr H helping him re-establish his routine. By including social care visits and outings in his weekly activities, we also reintroduced a reason for him to make the effort. He built back his confidence and had a much-improved quality of life as a result of our personal care services.
