Maintaining Dignity in Personal Care

Personal care can feel like a sensitive topic, but professional carers are trained to deliver this support with the utmost respect and dignity.

Person-Centred Approach

Every individual has their own preferences and routines. Good personal care takes these into account, allowing you to maintain as much independence as possible while providing the support you need.

What to Expect

Professional carers will:

• Always explain what they're doing and ask permission
• Ensure privacy at all times
• Work at your pace
• Use appropriate covering to maintain dignity
• Encourage independence where possible

Your Rights

You have the right to request same-gender carers if preferred, to refuse care at any time, and to have your care delivered according to your wishes and cultural needs.
