At Sphere Specialist Healthcare, we believe personal care is about far more than completing a task. Feeling clean, comfortable and well-presented can have a positive impact on a person’s confidence, self-esteem, dignity and overall wellbeing.

We understand that accepting support with personal care can feel unfamiliar or daunting, particularly when someone has previously managed these aspects of their life independently. Our support workers approach personal care with sensitivity, compassion and respect, protecting privacy and dignity at every stage.

Everyone has their own routines, preferences and ways of doing things. We take the time to understand these and develop a personalised care plan with the individual and, where appropriate, those important to them. This includes how and when they prefer their care to be provided, what they can do independently and where they would like support.

Our approach is to support rather than take over. We encourage choice, independence and involvement wherever possible, while appropriate risk assessments help ensure personal care can be provided safely — including areas such as getting in and out of the bath or shower.

Depending on individual needs and preferences, we can support with washing and dressing, bathing, showering, hair care, shaving, oral hygiene, skincare and continence care, as well as other aspects of personal care.

Support can be provided at the times that suit the individual and their usual routine.

Your care. Your choices. Your routine — delivered with dignity and respect.Personal Hygiene & Personal Care
