Personal Care

Introduction to Personal Care

Personal Care is fundamental to your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It includes eating and drinking well, daily hygiene including bathing and oral care, regular bowel and bladder functions, and much more. While we may take these personal care tasks for granted, people living with disabilities may not have the ability to perform these to keep themselves looking and feeling good. Whether you or your loved one experiences a disability, there are ample support services available with funding from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to ensure you live your life to the fullest.
People living with disabilities have varying levels of physical, mental, and emotional functions depending on the nature of their disability and these can have a drastic impact on the tasks they’re able to carry out on a regular basis. Nonetheless, there are some tasks that are essential to preserving our health and ensuring we can live full lives. Among these, Personal Care functions are a bare necessity that lays the groundwork for how we can perform in all other aspects of our lives. If you or a loved one is living with a disability, chances are there are certain everyday activities that can be infeasible. Eating well, performing personal hygiene, getting dressed, and using the restroom all contribute to an individual’s senses of self and dignity.

What is included in a Personal Care?

One of the cornerstones of safe, high-quality healthcare is person-centred care. In fact, person-centred care is respectful and responsive to the individual patient’s needs, preferences, and values. Personal caregivers clearly understand each patient’s requirements and values and the professional and legal protocol they should follow.

Personal care assistance also entails learning about the patient’s priorities, developing a trusting relationship based on respect, and cooperating to make decisions and organize medication.

Furthermore, person-centred home care services‘ key dimensions are:

  • No judgment and utmost respect
  • Offer strong emotional support
  • Provide physical comfort
  • Precise information and communication
  • Smooth service continuity and transition
  • Well-facilitated care coordination
  • Strong involvement of carers with family
  • Excellent access to care
