The Doncaster Personal Care team, here to help every step of the way

Personal care means offering support with those intimate, everyday tasks that can become more difficult as we age such as getting washed and dressed in the morning, taking a bath or shower, brushing hair, or managing continence care. We understand this can often be something many people find hard to talk about or initiate, but it’s a natural part of growing older, and we always approach it with dignity, kindness and respect. Our Care Professionals in Doncaster are specially trained in personal care, from safe moving and handling to offering gentle support with patience and understanding. Across Doncaster, Balby, Cantley and the surrounding area, we help older adults live independently and at ease in their own home, while easing the responsibilities of family members who may have been trying to support a loved one all on their own.

Why Personal Care may be right for you

Continuity matters enormously when it comes to providing personal care. We match clients with the same Care Professional or a small, consistent team, so your loved one isn’t having to get used to new faces every week. This means the Care Professional learns exactly how your mum likes her hair done, which outfit your dad prefers on a Tuesday, or the particular way someone feels most comfortable during a shower. That familiarity builds trust, and it means personal care feels less clinical and more like being looked after by someone who genuinely knows and cares about you.

What we do to care for your loved ones

We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of a unique mix of services to meet your needs.

    Helping your loved one move around their home safely, including transfers and positioning.

  • Health appointment management

    We support you to attend those important health appointments.

  • Community engagement

    We enable you to continue to do the things you enjoy, be it a visit to the garden centre or your local art group.

    Ensuring medicines are taken correctly and on time, supporting overall health.

I can’t praise the care staff enough, they have been wonderful with my dad. Always on time, very caring, kind and hard working and I know I can trust them to make sure he is OK which is such a relief. They have been a huge help to all of us, taking some of the burden of caring for my dad from my mum and putting my mind at ease knowing that someone is there to help.
Both my mum and dad are really happy with them, they enjoy their company and appreciate their care and kindness. My contact with the office has always been excellent and very professional and they have responded very quickly to any queries or concerns. Very happy with the service provided.

I have been impressed with the care that Mum and Dad received from the very first visit to assess their needs to the daily visits from the care professionals. Whenever there was a need for additional carers, the admin team did everything they could to arrange the extra carers and nothing was too much trouble even at very short notice or out of hours!
The carers who visited and cared for Mum and Dad were wonderful. Mum and Dad both thought so! They knew that no matter who came, they would be well cared for. Mum especially enjoyed having a chat and it definitely kept her going when she was both caring for Dad and living alone.

When it became clear that my mother-in-law needed help with personal care due to Alzheimers, it felt daunting to find a care provider. Home Instead were amazing from the first contact, they put us at ease, listened to our concerns and were able to accommodate her needs.
The carers took the time to get to know her, and kept everything just how she liked it, attention to detail, no shortcuts, no rushing off to the next call. She always enjoyed their company. They helped with light housework too which was so important to her.

C M (Daughter-in-law of Client)

Tailored Personal Care in Doncaster

C M wrote on homecare.co.uk about how her mother-in-law, who had Alzheimer’s, received personal care that was always handled with “attention to detail, no shortcuts, no rushing off to the next call.” She valued how the carers “took the time to get to know her, and kept everything just how she liked it.” Elizabeth M described how the care staff have been “very caring, kind and hard working” with her dad, adding that both her parents “appreciate their care and kindness.” When personal care is delivered with this level of thoughtfulness and respect, it makes an enormous difference to how someone feels about receiving support.

Trusted Personal Care from experienced home care professionals in Doncaster

Every Care Professional completes in-depth training in personal care before they start working with clients, and this is overseen by Jade Ebden, our Operations Manager with over 20 years of care experience. The training covers not just the practical skills but also how to preserve dignity, communicate sensitively, and adapt to each person’s preferences and needs. Nina Hanson, our Client Experience and Quality Lead, ensures families are kept informed and supported throughout, so if anything changes or you have concerns, we’re always available to talk things through and adjust the care plan.

Additional support and activities in Doncaster

Our relationships with local GPs, pharmacists and healthcare providers across Doncaster mean personal care is part of a joined-up approach to your loved one’s wellbeing. If a district nurse needs to visit, or medications need reviewing, we can coordinate that smoothly. We also run community events like our Sporting Friendship Group at Knights Rugby Club in Armthorpe and monthly Friendship Lunches at The Highwayman and Woodfield Farm, giving clients opportunities to stay socially connected. Personal care at home doesn’t mean isolation – we’re here to support the whole person, both at home and in the community.
