What Is Personal Care?

Personal care involves assisting with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and hygiene. These are the activities that help us feel our best, but as we age or face illness or recovery, completing them can become difficult. Personal care goes beyond just physical help—it’s about maintaining dignity and confidence.

At Home Instead Taunton & West Somerset, our trained care professionals offer this support in the comfort of your own home, ensuring you or your loved one can remain in familiar surroundings. Whether it’s applying lotion, assisting with dressing, or helping with a shower, we’re here to provide compassionate and respectful care.

How Can Personal Care Improve Quality of Life?

For many, receiving personal care at home means much more than just assistance with hygiene. It’s about enhancing day-to-day living, allowing individuals to maintain their routines and independence. Here are some key benefits of home-based personal care:

Individualised Care That Fits Your Needs

We believe that no two people are the same, so our personal care plans are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Whether it’s ensuring a morning routine remains uninterrupted or providing companionship during care visits, our approach ensures that each individual receives the care they need in a way that feels right for them.

Compassionate Care That Brings Comfort

Our care professionals aren’t just care professionals—they’re companions. We match care professionals to clients based on personality and preferences to ensure that the care provided is not only professional but also personal. This person-centred approach creates meaningful relationships, providing comfort and familiarity, which can be especially helpful for those living with dementia.

Relieving the Pressure on Family Members

Many family members take on the responsibility of personal care, but these tasks can become overwhelming. Home Instead Taunton & West Somerset offers a helping hand, providing professional support so that family members can focus on spending quality time with their loved ones.
