PERSONAL CARE
‘Personal care delivered with dignity and discretion.’
At Halcyon Care we help people to feel their very best at home, through living well, their way. We focus on providing a high-quality service that the people we look after can rely on, delivered by professionals they can trust.
Personal care is a service that involves contact between a Care Specialist and a client, where assistance is provided with personal hygiene, such as washing, dressing, toileting, grooming, or brushing teeth.
Many older people can be apprehensive when it comes to personal care. It is a sensitive subject and one that requires the highest level of dignity at all times. We go above and beyond to instil confidence in our service and assure the people we serve, treating clients with complete respect as if they were a part of our own family in order to help improve quality of life.
At Halcyon Care our team of dedicated Care Specialists provide help with everyday tasks, such as washing, dressing and bathing. We provide all our services with complete dignity from the comfort of the home allowing clients to maintain their personal hygiene routine safely and comfortably.
Whether a loved one may benefit from full-time personal care assistance, or morning and evening visits to help them with their daily routines, our Care Specialists are highly trained to provide sensitive and respectful care. Our Care Specialists can visit as little as one hour a day to full time, live-in care.
Carer Continuity
Something extremely important to us is our carer continuity, sending the same Care Specialist(s) to each and every visit. With something as sensitive as personal care we want family members to feel comfortable and confident that a loved one is receiving support from someone they trust. We provide regular Care Specialists to each client, enabling a strong bond to develop. A close and trusting relationship is of paramount importance in supporting the personal care needs of individuals at home.
Our Companionship service can help your loved one:
Hospital Discharge
For those being discharged from hospital after a medical procedure or a long hospital stay, our personal care service can be incredibly important to aid recovery at home. We have found that generally people much prefer to be at home during periods of recovery, rather than staying in hospital or rehabilitation facility.
Often, family members cannot be around to help as much as they would like or find it difficult to provide intimate care for a loved one. Our personal care service, provided by our expertly trained Care Specialists, offers the extra care and support to assist clients in the convalescence and rehabilitation process after a hospital visit.
Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care
We are specialists in the care for those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, providing personal care that is tailored to the particular varying needs of each individual. Our Care Specialists are highly trained in the provision of personal care for those with various forms of dementia. We tailor our services to provide different forms of care based on the individual’s abilities and needs.
