Our professional and caring staff are able to provide a wide range of personal services allowing our clients to maintain their dignity and respect. Our services include:
Assisting clients with their personal hygiene – As a regulated activity, many aspects of personal care are required to be registered and are inspected and rated. We consider this service to consist of any aspect or any level of personal hygiene such as washing, bathing, continence care etc.

A wide range of personal services are covered some of which are listed below:

- For washing, showering & bathing, our carers will provide as much or as little help required.

Helping you at home
We also provide a home help service is which is for those who are a little more independent. For instance, you may only need help with gardening or doing the washing up for which we can provide the assistance needed. Having a helping hand at home to occasionaly do washing up or laundry allows you to maintain maximum independance whilst getting only the help you need.
Furthermore, with ongoing monitoring by our care givers and staff, we can increase or decrease the help required to ensure you are comfortable and confident with the services you receive.
