Personal care in the comfort of your own home

Personal care is about more than practical assistance. It is about helping people feel comfortable, respected and confident in their daily lives.

Depending on the individual’s care plan, support may include assistance with washing, dressing, grooming, toileting and other agreed personal care activities.

We aim to respect each person’s privacy, preferences, cultural needs and dignity throughout the support provided.

Personal care services include hands-on assistance with essential daily activities individuals are challenged to perform independently. These services, often called Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) or Instrumental Activities of Daily Life (IADLs), play a crucial role in enabling individuals to maintain their independence and remain in their homes rather than moving to assisted living or nursing facilities.

  • Companion care
  • Assistance with housework
  • Cooking
  • Medication management
  • Oral hygiene
  • Feeding
  • Bathing
  • Toileting
  • Grooming 
  • Dressing
