About personal care
Help with washing, bathing or showering, dressing, shaving, hair, going to the toilet and continence care, done in a way that protects dignity.
Questions families ask
Can a self-employed carer help with washing and dressing?
Yes, many do. Agree exactly what's included before the first visit, and write it down so there are no surprises.
What if Mum would prefer a female carer?
That's a completely reasonable thing to ask for. You can choose by gender when you search.
Do we need special equipment?
Not always. An occupational therapist, usually arranged through the council or GP, can look at the home and suggest grab rails, a shower seat or other aids. These are often free or low cost.
