What is Personal Care?
Providing personal care includes typically one or more tasks that help you with aspects of daily living, such as assistance with:-
• Getting out of bed
• Washing and dressing
• Toileting
• Meal preparation and/or feeding.
• Medication assistance
• Moving Around
• Being cared for in bed
• Advice and signposting
• Encouragement
• Emotional support
• Psychological support
Personal care that is delivered well will have an impact on the quality of your life and your wellbeing; it will also bring relief and peace of mind to your family, whether they are near at hand or far away, knowing you are safe and well cared for will be a great relief to them.
Our Personal Care aims to help you remain as independent in your own home as possible. The sort of Personal Care we offer puts you in control of your services. With our experience, expertise, and variety of options, we can plan the support and care precisely how you would like it. Furthermore, adjusting your requirements in the future couldn’t be simpler; using our Digital Care Planning technology and our ‘Live Team’, you can make instant adjustments using your computer, or if you prefer, the telephone. This way, you can be confident of a responsive and evolving service meeting the outcomes you want from the personal care you receive.
Everyone is different and has different needs and priorities. Therefore, in our first meeting, we begin listening carefully to you, and if you would like your family as well. We discover what sort of support meets your needs. We will also carry out a care assessment and risk assessment as necessary. When we have all the information we need, we then tailor-make your unique care plan
All the information for your Care Plan is stored digitally in our Digital Care Plan, which is accessible to you, the ‘Live Team’, and with your permission, your family. This way, details of the care plan, including arrival and leaving times, tasks completed, and the outcomes we have monitored can be seen and observed by everyone. It’s easy for you or your family to communicate any concerns or changes instantly, on your computer or by telephone, ensuring that we can make your changes by our next call. This way, you remain in control and at the heart of all, we do. Whether they live far away or close by, loved ones can have peace of mind that you are receiving the care you expected.
Personal Care may involve simple or complex interventions, and it requires a degree of professionalism and expertise to achieve high standards and quality. We are confident that our recruitment, vetting, and training enable us to offer a Care Team ready and deliver first-class care and do so with thoughtfulness and kindness.
If living independently at home is something you want to try and achieve, Premier Community’s award-winning services are at hand to help 24 hours a day.
