Personal Care Services
With Home Instead you can feel confident that our Care Professionals will assist with your care and support needs discreetly and with dignity.
What does a Personal Care service involve?
At Home Instead, our Personal Care services ensure that care and support is provided with dignity and a commitment to enabling you or your loved one to be independent. We understand that having support with daily living such as bathing or dressing can make a difference in your quality of life, helping you to stay happy at home.
We understand that everyone is unique, so we ensure that support with personal care is tailored to you. We will work with you or your loved one to put together a detailed person-centred plan that our Care Professionals will follow, so that you or your loved one gets the care and support needed, in the way that you want it.
Personal Care:
- Is dignified and respectful
- Maintains your preferred routine and lifestyle
- Takes place in your own home in familiar surroundings
- Gives peace of mind that your loved one is being cared for
- Helps families take a rest from caring
- Enables your loved one to remain living at home.
We understand that it can be an unsettling time when daily living activities such as personal hygiene, dressing and personal grooming become a struggle. It can be difficult to accept help with personal care from our loved ones, particularly those with more intimate or clinical needs.
At Home Instead we say no to one-size-fits-all care. Our Care Professional will be matched with you, will take time to get to know you, and will build a trusted relationship to ensure that your care and support is personal to you and carried out in the way you want, to assist your independence.
Our Care Professionals are highly trained in providing personal care including assisting with moving and positioning, supporting with medication, mealtime support, helping with bathing or showering and continence care. We can also provide support with more clinical personal care activities such as catheter and stoma care, helping you to live your best life at home.
We've helped thousands of families to stay safe, comfortable and happy at home. Whatever situation you're facing, or whatever the question is, Home Instead is here to help.

Promoting good personal hygiene helps to prevent illness and the spread of infection. It also helps maintain self-confidence and dignity.
A familiar care professional matched with you provides personalised care and support to you in your own home in the way you want it to be provided.
We understand that it can be difficult accepting personal care and that is why you will be introduced to your Care Professionals and they will spend time getting to know you before assisting you with your personal care.
At Home Instead we ensure that each client has a small team of Care Professionals in place to provide you with care so you can be confident that you will have continuity from the same Care Professionals.
At Home Instead, we have a robust approach to ensuring that all Care Professionals have regular observations of practice that we call Support Visits, and assessments of competency for key activities such as handling medication or providing catheter care.
