Personal Care

Practical, dignified help with the daily routines that get your day started and finished — delivered by workers you know.

Usually funded from: Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Life

Personal care covers the everyday tasks that are harder to do alone. For some people that is a hand with the shower twice a week. For others it is a full morning and evening routine, every day, including overnight support. We build the roster around how you actually live, not around a standard shift.

What this support includes

  • Showering, bathing, toileting and continence support
  • Dressing, grooming, shaving, hair and nail care
  • Transfers, hoisting and repositioning, by workers trained in your equipment
  • Medication prompting and assistance, within our scope and your plan
  • Meal preparation, feeding assistance and modified-texture diets
  • Overnight support — active or sleepover, depending on what you need

Who it tends to suit

  • People who need a hand with morning or evening routines
  • People with high physical support needs, including hoist transfers
  • Families looking for reliable, consistent workers rather than a rotating roster
  • People coming home from hospital who need support while they recover

Common questions

If yours is not here, ask us — we would rather answer it than have you guess.

Can I choose who supports me?

Yes. We introduce workers before they start and we will change the match if it is not right. You will not be asked to justify that.

Can the same worker come every time?

That is what we roster for. In practice you will have a small regular team rather than one person, so that leave and illness do not leave you without support. You will know everyone on it.

Can workers help with medication?

We can prompt, and we can assist with medication from a pharmacy-prepared dose administration aid, where that is set out in your plan and supported by your prescriber. Anything clinical beyond that needs a nurse, and we will tell you plainly when that is the case.

What about gender preference?

Tell us at intake. Preferences about a worker's gender for personal care are ordinary and we roster to them.
