What Is Personal Care?
Personal care is support with the most private parts of daily life, such as washing, dressing, using the toilet and looking after your appearance. For many people, accepting this kind of help is a big step, so we take it slowly, explain everything and let you stay in control.
Personal care can be part of a regular home care visit or arranged on its own, for example a morning shower visit or an evening routine before bed.
