In getting to know you as a person, your care plan will be person-centred to your individual needs. Particular tasks, such as shaving, hair care or being pampered will always be outlined in your care plan with specific instructions for your carer.
Each Home Care Worker 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 enabling your dignity and independence at all times.
Even though Home Care Workers are trained to provide all aspects of personal care, there may be some things you’d prefer to do for yourself. Our Home Care Workers will always give you space when you want it and encourage your independence wherever they can.
