Personal care
What is personal care?
Personal care is the assistance provided to individuals who need support with their personal hygiene, grooming, and daily activities while living in their own homes. It involves helping the elderly with tasks such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and medication management. Personal care is crucial for promoting independence, maintaining dignity, and ensuring the overall well-being of individuals who may have difficulties performing these activities on their own.

“I would just like to thank Valour Care for their continued help with my Dad. Such good was their care that the hospital have commented on the condition of his skin and how it looked since they’ve been caring for him. Trustpilot Review by D. Welsh Read more
Why choose personal care at home?
Home personal care provides a sense of familiarity and comfort. Many individuals feel more at ease in their own environment, which can alleviate stress and anxiety associated with seeking professional care. Whether it is grooming, skincare, or relaxation techniques, being in a safe and familiar space allows you to fully relax and enjoy the benefits of self-care.
One significant advantage of personal care at home is the personalisation it offers. At Valour healthcare we understand every individual has unique needs and preferences when it comes to personal care. Some may require specific products or techniques due to sensitive skin or underlying health conditions. By proving you with care in your own home, you have complete control over the products, routines, and methods employed, tailoring them to your specific needs and ensuring the best results.
Care at home builds independence
Personal care at home fosters a sense of independence and self-reliance. When we actively assume responsibility for our own wellbeing, we become more empowered and self-sufficient. This not only positively impacts our physical health but also our mental and emotional wellbeing. The feeling of accomplishment and self-care can boost self-esteem and enhance overall happiness in our lives.
