At Sphere Specialist Healthcare we would like all our clients to enjoy high self-esteem and to feel good about themselves. Evidence shows that to enjoy good self esteem we need pride, self-confidence, self-respect, a sense of identity, healthy humility, and appreciation for ourselves. We aim to support our clients to achieve all of the above. We know that for our clients, having someone support them with their personal care needs can be daunting and a new experience. We work with our support workers to ensure this is carried out with respect, privacy and dignity at all times and take great care to acknowledge the sensitive nature of this aspect of care. We recognise that everyone has different routines, standards, and ways in which they carry out their personal hygiene and will work with clients and their families to carefully develop an individual and bespoke plan of care for how they would like personal care to be delivered. We will work to promote individuality, choice and independence at all times to ensure that the client is comfortable, and our professionals will perform risk assessments with the client to ensure this is safe, for example entering and exiting the shower. We can provide services including washing and dressing, bathing, showering, shaving, oral hygiene and continence care at any time of day to suit the individual’s preference and need.
