When it becomes clear that either your loved one or parents are struggling with the day-to-day tasks of maintaining their own personal hygiene, dressing, toileting and their own appearance it can be an unsettling time for families. Personal care can be difficult for family members or those close to you to carry out, particularly the more intimate tasks or those that require specialist clinical intervention, like changing a catheter or maintaining a stoma bag.
At Unicare our expertly trained carers can provide sensitive and respectful personal care focused on ensuring dignity and independence, in the familiar surroundings of your own home. Our highly personalised care plan will capture all your needs and particular preferences including how, when and where you would like the care and support you need, working together with your routines and lifestyle. There really is nowhere better to receive personal care – than in your own home.
Our personal care for the elderly provided by an employed and trained professional carer can be offered as a live-in care service or as respite care. We will provide you with a well matched care team who will truly get to know you to understand your personal choices, preferences and desired routines. Our carers will encourage you to remain as independent as you can, whilst providing the gentle encouragement and dignified support you need to keep on top of your personal care.
One of the most compelling benefits of receiving personal care in the comfort of your own home as opposed to a care home setting is that the care and support you receive will be provided by a carer on a one-to-one basis, not a number of different carers in a larger care team. Given the sensitive nature of this type of care it affords you the reassurance that the same continuous care team will be there to support you who have really got to understand you and your needs.
Whether a physical disability is temporary or permanent, our live-in care workers help people live life to the fullest, while remaining safely in their own home.

Personal care refers to the support provided with essential daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility assistance, and hygiene. It is designed to promote dignity, independence, and overall well-being for individuals who may have physical or cognitive limitations.
Personal care is ideal for individuals with chronic illnesses, disabilities, mobility challenges, or age-related conditions. It is also suitable for those recovering from surgery or hospitalisation who require temporary support with daily routines.
Personal care may involve assistance with:
Bathing, showering, and personal hygiene
Dressing and grooming
Eating and drinking support
Mobility and transferring assistance
Continence care and toileting
Medication reminders (non-clinical)
Maintaining dignity is a core principle of personal care. All support is delivered with sensitivity and respect, ensuring privacy, comfort, and patient choice at all times. Staff are trained to provide discreet assistance that empowers individuals rather than making them feel dependent.
Personal care focuses on everyday tasks related to hygiene, comfort, and mobility, whereas medical care involves clinical treatments, nursing, and healthcare procedures. While personal care assistants are not medical professionals, they work alongside healthcare teams to support overall well-being.
Yes. Personal care plans are tailored to each individual’s lifestyle, preferences, and health requirements. The level of assistance may range from minimal support to comprehensive daily care, depending on the person’s abilities.
No. While personal care is commonly associated with elderly support, it is equally beneficial for younger individuals with disabilities, temporary injuries, or long-term health conditions requiring assistance with daily living activities.
The goal of personal care is not to replace independence but to enhance it. By providing safe assistance with challenging tasks, individuals can continue to live comfortably and confidently in their own homes or care facilities.
Personal care can be provided in both settings. Many individuals prefer receiving care at home, where they feel comfortable and secure, while others access personal care within residential or assisted living facilities.
Unicare Complex offers professional, compassionate, and reliable personal care tailored to individual needs. Our team is trained to deliver support with dignity, respect, and sensitivity, ensuring every client feels safe, valued, and cared for.
