What Is personal care and how can we help you?

Personal care is the extra support you may need to maintain your personal hygiene, health, and well-being, enabling you to live safely and comfortably in your own home. This can include a wide range of daily activities such as maintaining your personal appearance, continence management, meal preparation and diet, and assistance with mobility  for example, getting in and out of bed, dressing, or using hoists. Depending on your individual needs, personal care may also involve more complex tasks.

At Serveco Limited, our dedicated personal care teams provide compassionate, professional support tailored to each person’s unique circumstances. Whether it’s help with washing, dressing, bathing, meals, or medication, we work closely with you and your loved ones to create a bespoke care plan that supports your independence while meeting all your needs.

Who can benefit from personal care?

Serveco Limited provides high-quality care and support to adults of all ages with a wide range of personal needs. Our goal is to help individuals remain safely and comfortably in their own homes while preserving dignity, independence, and quality of life. Whatever your health condition, our professional teams work with you and your loved ones to create a bespoke care plan designed to meet your unique needs and delivered to the highest standards. Personal care can be tailored to support a variety of circumstances, including:

Dementia and Alzheimer’s

Dementia is a progressive neurological condition that gradually affects brain function, leading to memory loss and difficulties with daily routines. This may mean forgetting whether you have brushed your teeth, eaten during the day, or taken prescribed medication. With the support of our trained carers, you can maintain good personal hygiene and appearance while ensuring peace of mind that medication and routines are followed consistently.

Physical disability

Age-related changes or certain health conditions can reduce mobility and make everyday activities more difficult. Our carers provide practical support with washing, bathing, dressing, and wound care, as well as help with positioning in bed to prevent pressure sores or infections. They also assist with moving safely in and out of bed or between rooms, reducing the risk of falls and promoting comfort and independence.

Substance misuse Support

When providing personal care to individuals affected by substance misuse, Serveco adopts a person-centred, respectful, and non-judgemental approach. Our carers deliver discreet and compassionate support with daily needs, including personal hygiene, nutrition, medication management, and maintaining a safe and comfortable living environment. We recognise that substance misuse can be linked to additional health concerns such as skin conditions, poor nutrition, reduced mobility, or mental health challenges. By working in close partnership with health professionals, support workers, and recovery teams, we ensure that the care we provide addresses both immediate needs and supports long-term well-being, independence, and recovery goals.

Why personal care matters?

Personal care is an essential part of daily life, and the way it is managed can have a direct impact on health, well-being, and confidence. Without the right support, poor personal hygiene and self-care can lead to complications such as infections, worsening of existing health conditions, low self-esteem, and even depression. This makes maintaining good personal hygiene and routines particularly important, especially for older adults or those living with health challenges.

We understand that personal care can be a sensitive subject, but at Serveco Limited we ensure that every individual is supported with dignity, respect, and compassion. Our professional carers provide discreet assistance, helping you or your loved one feel comfortable, valued, and empowered to live safely and independently at home. With the right personal care support, you or your loved one can:

  • Maintain dignity, personal hygiene, and appearance to a high standard.
  • Reduce the risk of falls with safe assistance when moving, bathing, toileting, or using stairs — particularly if mobility or balance is a concern.
