What is Personal Care at Home?

Personal care at home is non-medical support that helps people manage everyday activities when age, illness, disability, or recovery makes these tasks difficult.

This includes support with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as:

Personal hygiene
Dressing and grooming
Moving safely around the home
Toileting and continence
Meal support and hydration reminders

Personal care focuses on comfort, privacy, and respect. It is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) when delivered as a managed service and plays an important role in reducing health risks such as falls, infections, and avoidable hospital admissions.

Personal care always starts with listening. Support is shaped around how you live, not the other way around.

When is Personal Care at Home the Right Choice?

Personal care at home may be the right option if you or your loved one:

Is recovering after hospital discharge or surgery

Finds washing, dressing, or moving around increasingly difficult

Is living with dementia, Parkinson’s, or mobility challenges

Feels unsafe managing personal tasks alone

Wants to avoid moving into residential care

Is supported by family carers who need extra help

Many families arrange personal care early, before challenges become emergencies. Early support often helps people stay independent for longer.
