At Gifted Hands Home Care, we understand that needing support with personal tasks can feel sensitive and emotional. That’s why our Personal Care service is delivered with compassion, discretion, and a deep respect for your independence and privacy. We’re here to support you with daily routines while promoting your comfort, dignity, and wellbeing at all times.

What Is Personal Care?

Personal Care involves hands-on assistance with everyday activities related to personal hygiene, grooming, and physical health. It’s ideal for individuals who may be elderly, disabled, recovering from illness, or living with long-term conditions that affect their ability to manage these tasks alone.

A Person-Centred Approach to Care

At Gifted Hands, every care plan is carefully tailored to your unique preferences, routines, and needs. We take time to get to know you — understanding your likes, cultural considerations, and comfort levels — and adjust our care accordingly.

Your person-centred care plan will include:

• Your preferred times for care routines
• Any religious or cultural practices
• Gender preferences for your carer
• Your grooming, hygiene, and mobility needs
• Communication and consent preferences

We believe in doing care with you, not just for you.

What Personal Care Includes

Our trained care professionals can support you with:

• Bathing, showering, or bed baths
• Toileting and continence care, including incontinence pads
• Catheter care and stoma bag support
• Oral hygiene, including denture care
• Shaving, hair care, and grooming
• Dressing and undressing, respecting privacy
• Skin care and application of creams
• Nail care (non-clinical trimming and cleaning)
• Support with mobility, transfers, and positioning

We always maintain your dignity, modesty, and personal boundaries, ensuring you feel safe and respected.

Respecting Dignity and Preferences

We respect that personal care is deeply individual. That’s why we:

• Honour gender preferences when assigning carers
• Involve clients in every decision about their care
• Uphold privacy and discretion at every stage
• Provide support without rushing or judgement

We are here to empower, not take over — and to make each care moment feel comfortable and dignified.
