What is Personal care?
When it becomes clear that either your loved one or parents are struggling with the day-to-day tasks of maintaining their own personal hygiene, dressing, toileting and their own appearance it can be an unsettling time for families. Personal care can be difficult for family members or those close to you to carry out, particularly the more intimate tasks or those that require specialist clinical intervention, like changing a catheter or maintaining a stoma bag.
At Unity Care Agency Ltd our expertly trained care workers can provide sensitive and respectful personal care focused on ensuring dignity and independence, in the familiar surroundings of your own home. Our highly personalised care plan will capture all your needs and particular preferences including how, when and where you would like the care and support you need, working together with your routines and lifestyle. There really is nowhere better to receive personal care – than in your own home.

Enhanced self-esteem:
Taking care of oneself can lead to a sense of accomplishment and pride, which can boost self-esteem and self-confidence.
Stress relief:
Engaging in personal care activities such as taking a relaxing bath or practicing meditation can help reduce stress and promote relaxation.

When individuals take care of themselves, they are better equipped to handle daily tasks and responsibilities, leading to increased productivity and efficiency.
