Personal care services we provide

For people with complex health needs, personal care often sits alongside clinical procedures as part of a wider package. For others, personal care alone provides the support needed to remain comfortably and safely at home. Our personal care support is tailored to the individual. It may include any combination of the following:

Helping maintain independence with everyday dressing support

What is personal care?

Personal care refers to support with the intimate and practical aspects of daily life that a person can no longer manage fully on their own. This includes help with washing and bathing, dressing, oral hygiene, shaving, toileting and getting in and out of bed.

Personal care is not just about completing tasks. It is about doing so in a way that preserves the person’s dignity, respects their preferences, and keeps them as involved in their own care as they wish to be. At CareLink Direct, personal care is delivered within a wider nurse-led framework, which means that carers are properly trained, supervised and supported, and that any health concerns noticed during personal care are picked up and acted on.

When is personal care support the right choice?

Personal care support at home is appropriate when someone finds it difficult or unsafe to manage washing, dressing or other personal care tasks independently, and would benefit from consistent, professional support.

You might consider personal care at home if your loved one:

  • Is finding it increasingly difficult to manage washing, dressing or bathing safely
  • Has had a fall or an injury that has reduced their confidence or mobility
  • Has a long-term condition affecting their ability to manage personal care independently
  • Has recently been discharged from hospital and needs support while recovering
  • Is living with dementia and needs a consistent, familiar routine with familiar carers
Safe and supportive help with movement around the home
Encouraging confidence and independence with every step

Daily Living Assistance at Home in Sussex and Surrey

The everyday tasks that most people take for granted can become a real challenge when health or mobility changes. We provide daily living assistance at home across Sussex and Surrey, helping people manage their day with confidence, comfort and as much independence as possible.

How personal care support helps families

  • Consistent, familiar carers who treat your loved one with dignity and patience
  • A structured routine that supports wellbeing and reduces anxiety
  • Carers who notice changes in health or skin condition and report them promptly
  • Nurse oversight so any clinical concerns arising during personal care are acted on
  • Families able to step back from intensive personal care and simply be present as family
  • Flexible scheduling to fit the times that work best for the individual

Personal care services we provide

Our personal care support is tailored to the individual. It may include any combination of the following:

  • Washing and bathing support, including assistance with showers, baths and bed baths
  • Shaving support (non-wet shaving)
  • Oral care including teeth cleaning and denture care
  • Dressing and undressing, with the person choosing their own clothes and preferences respected
  • Toileting and continence care, approached with sensitivity and discretion
  • Assistance getting in and out of bed safely
  • Medication support as prescribed by the GP or clinical team
  • Support to maintain independence skills, encouraging the person to do what they can rather than doing everything for them

Arranging personal care at home

Personal care is one of the most personal arrangements you can make for a loved one, and we take that seriously. When we assess someone’s personal care needs, we take the time to understand their preferences, their routine, and what matters to them, not just what they need help with.

If you would like to talk through personal care options for your loved one, please contact us. We will listen properly and help you work out what kind of support would make the most difference.

Arranging specialist clinical care at home

We aim to respond quickly and, because we have nurses and trained carers ready, we can often begin care without the long delays that families sometimes experience elsewhere.
