Supporting your independence with dignity and compassion
Personal care is available for any daily tasks you may need support with, such as bathing, showering, applying creams and lotions, dressing, and toileting, all in the comfort of your own home. Working to your regular routines and ensuring that support is tailored to your specific requirements, a fully trained carer or support worker offers discreet and professional personal care in the way that’s most comfortable to you.
We believe in the importance of a continuous service and the same familiar faces, especially when it comes to personal care. Speak to us to find out more about how we can support you or a loved one.
Personal care is a broad term used to refer to supporting with personal hygiene and toileting, along with dressing and maintaining your personal appearance.
In getting to know you as a person, your care plan will outline your likes and dislikes, the hygiene or beauty products you want to use and what – and who – you feel most comfortable with. Particular tasks will always be outlined in your support plan with specific instructions for your carer.
Each carer is expertly trained to provide personal care in a way that is discreet and respectful of your personal boundaries. They undertake extensive training where they learn the importance of always enabling your dignity and independence. Even though carers are trained to provide all aspects of personal care, there may be some things you would prefer to do for yourself. A good carer will always give you space when you want it and encourage your independence wherever they can.
The options for personal care
Like all forms of care, support with personal care is built completely around your individual needs and personal routines. If you like to wash before breakfast or have a bath before going to bed, a carer will happily follow your schedule, letting you live the way you want.
- Bathing and showering, including bed-baths
- Applying lotions and creams as required
- Dressing and getting ready for bed
- Oral hygiene
- Applying make-up, and hair care
- Helping you to the toilet, including using a commode or bed pan
- Changing continence pads, along with cleaning intimate areas
- Support moving position in bed, to stretch and prevent bed sores
- Changing or maintaining a catheter bag
By building strong relationships with families, we create a warm and collaborative environment that benefits everyone. Whether it’s joining a therapy session, sharing a meal, or simply visiting for a chat.
Many carers support with other tasks in addition to personal care. In fact, they are also trained to administer medication, help those with limited mobility to move safely around the home (especially using hoists and supports) and can prepare meals, complete household chores, and even offer companionship, ongoing support, and encouragement.
Please get in touch with our team to find out more about what a carer can support with. A member of the ST Complete Care team can visit you at home to discuss the options and arrange the type of support you are looking for.
