What is personal care?
Personal care provides non-medical assistance with activities of daily living while protecting dignity, privacy, independence and personal preferences.
Who may benefit?
It may be appropriate when bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting routines or mobility have become difficult to manage safely without assistance.
What support may include
- Bathing and shower assistance
- Dressing and grooming support
- Toileting and incontinence-care routines
- Mobility and transfer assistance within the caregiver's scope
- Help with other agreed activities of daily living
Why families use this support
Small daily tasks can become physically demanding for both clients and family caregivers. Respectful support can help preserve routine and comfort at home.
Services are non-medical and are arranged according to the client's needs, the agreed service plan and caregiver availability.
