What is Personal care?
Personal care is a type of care that is provided to you with everyday tasks. It can include things like bathing, grooming, dressing, and taking care of personal hygiene. The goal of personal care is to improve your health and well-being. It is tailored to meet the specific needs of each person receiving care, and it often involves a team of people, such as your caregiver, social workers, doctors, and family members, who work together to create a personalised care plan. Personal care is usually provided in the home, and it can make a big difference in helping you maintain your independence and dignity, especially when you are getting older

Feeling reluctant to opt for personal care
We understand that many people may be hesitant to seek help at home, based on our research, it may be because:
Uncomfortable
You maybe uncomfortable with people entering your personal space
Loss of Dignity
You may be afraid that getting help with showering, bathing and going to the toilet results in loss of dignity
Loss of independence
Getting help might lead to loss of independence and no longer being able to cope
You are not alone
It’s important to know that you are not alone in this journey. Many people face fears that lead them to reject or feel reluctant to accept personal care and help at home. However, it’s understandable that they may have had to give up certain things, such as driving or picking up their grandkids from school, so the last thing they want is to feel like their independence has also been taken away. But with our experience working with the elderly, we can help them through this transition and show them that personal care does not mean a loss of independence, freedom, or control.
