Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Care
Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Care
Personal care is support with everyday tasks that are personal in nature, such as washing, dressing, grooming, continence care, mobility support and preparing for bed. It is designed to help people stay comfortable, safe and independent in their own home.
Personal care can support older adults, people living with disability or reduced mobility, people recovering after illness or hospital discharge, and anyone who needs help with daily routines at home. Support can be arranged for short-term, long-term or changing needs.
A personal care visit may include help with washing, bathing, dressing, grooming, oral care, toileting, continence support, medication prompts or assistance, mobility support and settling in for the day or night. Visits can also include practical help such as meal preparation, hydration support and light household tasks where needed.
