Personal care
Who is it for?
Our personal care service is available for eligible people who need assistance with daily living.
Ways we can help
Our service response will differ according to each person’s needs and goals. We focus on helping a person to live as independently and autonomously as possible by maximising a person’s independence in personal care.
Some of our services include:
- showering,
- dressing and undressing,
- shaving, hair care and grooming,
- toileting and other personal hygiene needs.
We can also demonstrate techniques for self-management such as the use of a hand-held shower or a bath seat.
