Personal Care Services at Home
Discreet, dignified support with the everyday tasks that matter most — delivered with kindness, patience, and complete respect for your privacy.
Understanding Personal Care
Personal care refers to the support that helps you manage the most intimate and essential aspects of daily life — washing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and managing medication. These are tasks that most of us take for granted, but illness, injury, ageing, or disability can make them difficult or impossible to manage alone.
We understand that accepting help with personal care can feel daunting. It is one of the most private areas of your life, and trusting someone with that responsibility is a significant step. That is precisely why we take it so seriously.
At Kays 24-7 Care Services, every personal care visit is guided by one principle above all others: your dignity. Our carers are trained not only in the practical skills required but in the sensitivity, discretion, and emotional awareness that this type of care demands. You remain in control at all times — choosing what help you receive, how it is delivered, and who provides it.
What Our Personal Care Includes
Every personal care visit is tailored to your specific needs, preferences, and level of comfort. Our carers can support you with:
Bathing, Showering & Washing
Assistance with bathing, showering, or bed bathing, carried out at your preferred time and in the way that feels most comfortable and natural to you.
Dressing & Undressing
Help with choosing clothes, getting dressed in the morning, and changing into nightwear in the evening — always at your pace and following your preferences.
Oral & Dental Hygiene
Support with brushing teeth, cleaning dentures, and maintaining good oral health as part of your daily routine.
Hair Care & Grooming
Brushing, styling, and general grooming assistance, including help with shaving for gentlemen, so you look and feel your best every day.
Toileting & Continence Care
Sensitive, discreet support with toileting, continence pad management, catheter care, and maintaining cleanliness and comfort throughout the day and night.
Skin Care & Pressure Area Care
Application of prescribed creams and moisturisers, monitoring skin condition, and repositioning support to help prevent pressure sores for those with limited mobility.
Medication Prompts & Reminders
Ensuring you take the right medication at the right time, with reminders and prompts built into your care plan as agreed with your healthcare team.
Support with Eating & Drinking
Assistance at mealtimes for those who need help with feeding, cutting food, or ensuring adequate fluid intake throughout the day.
Our Approach to Dignity and Respect
Personal care is deeply personal. We never lose sight of that. Every member of our team is trained to deliver personal care in a way that upholds your dignity, protects your privacy, and respects your right to make your own choices.
Your Preferences, Always
Your care plan records your personal preferences in detail — the time you like to get up, whether you prefer a bath or a shower, whether you would like a male or female carer, the products you like to use, and anything else that matters to you. Your carer follows your preferences at every visit.
Trained in Sensitivity and Consent
All our carers complete specific training in dignity, privacy, and consent before delivering any personal care. They understand how to communicate clearly, how to offer reassurance, and how to ensure you are comfortable with every aspect of your support.
You Are Always in Control
If there is something you would rather do yourself, we encourage and support your independence. If there is something you would like done differently, you only need to say so. Personal care should always feel like your choice — because it is.
