Personal Care is a term that covers a range of Home Care services. It covers any daily personal tasks, such as maintaining personal hygiene, going to the bathroom and dressing. Find your local Alina Homecare Team to learn more about how we can help you.

Personal Care helps maintain you or your loved one’s dignity, hygiene and general wellbeing. Good hygiene doesn’t just reduce the risk of infection or illness, it also can improve mental health. Personal Care can also help ease the pressure of performing intimate tasks for loved ones so family and friends can focus on relationships without feeling uncomfortable.

The main difference is that Home Care involves a Carer visiting you throughout the day and these visits can be as little as 30 minutes. On the other hand, Live-in Care involves your Carer moving in with you full time. Either way, you’ll receive quality care in the comfort of your home. With Live-in Care, enjoy continuous support and reassurance that there’s someone in the home all day if you need any help. There are lots of types of Home Care available, from Companionship Care to Personal Care and more specialist support services for conditions such as dementia and strokes. If you need help overnight, you could opt for a Live-in Carer or choose our Waking Nights service.

If you’re considering Personal Care, we recommend arranging a free home visit from our local Team to discuss your care needs. The reason for an initial home visit is to ensure a Personal Care plan is tailored specifically to your needs and preferences. We take time to get to know you, understanding your likes and dislikes so we can provide care that’s all about you. We’ll work hard to find opportunities to promote independence, supporting you or your loved one to do as much as you can. When this isn’t possible, we will be there to help and support as much as needed. Arranging care for the first time, or switching providers, can be stressful. There are often a lot of questions that need answering and our local Teams are ready to chat when you need them. To get started, find your local Team.

Absolutely. We can include more specialist services for conditions like Multiple Sclerosis , Parkinson’s, dementia, cancer and more. If necessary, we can also arrange for a second Care Worker to help during your visit if you have more complex needs.

Personal Care costs do vary according to the type of care needed, the number of care visits and where you live. To learn more and to get a personalised quote, find your local Team.

Home Care is great for those who wish to remain in the comfort of their home but need extra support. Moving into a residential care facility can be daunting and many prefer to remain in a familiar environment surrounded by special memories. Home Care also provides personalised support that’s conducted in a manner to suit your needs and preferences. Unfortunately, care homes can’t provide the same level of dedicated and personalised care. In a care home, staff attention is shared between multiple residents. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what you think would work best for you. Read our guide comparing Home Care with care homes.

Introductory agencies are not regulated and quality cannot be guaranteed. We provide fully regulated services that are inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). We also provide full and exclusive training for our Care Workers, whereas private Carer and agency Carers may not have comprehensive training. In addition to this, our services are also backed up with central support; this means you can count on us even if your Care Worker needs time off as our local Team can step in to ensure continuity of care.
