Quick Questions
What is Personal Care?
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.

Why is Personal Care important?
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.
What does a Personal Care home visit involve?
If you are 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.
How much does Personal Care cost?
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.

How does Alina Homecare compare to an introductory agency?
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 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.

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 is sick or needs time off, as we can source a replacement to ensure continuity of care.
How is Personal Care monitored?
Like all our services, our Personal Care is regulated by the CQC. The CQC is an independent regulator that inspects our services to ensure our quality standards are maintained. This includes checking that our care is focused on our clients as individuals, as well as that we keep you safe and secure at all times. In addition to this, we are proud to partner with Birdie. Birdie’s innovative care technology enables us to digitally log and monitor the support we provide. The Birdie Family app., with your consent, also allows full visibility of care at any time for you and your loved ones. It’s a great way of providing added reassurance that you’re receiving the highest quality care.
What is included with Personal Care?
Among other tasks, Personal Care can include bathing and showering, including bed baths, applying lotions and creams, dressing and getting ready for bed, oral hygiene, continence support and more. Whatever help you need, however much or little, we can help.
Who delivers Personal Care?
Personal Care can often be delivered by friends, relatives and loved ones. Our Personal Care service is delivered by professionally trained Care Workers or a Live-in Carer. All our Teams receive exclusive training to ensure our reputation for high quality care is maintained.
What are the options for Personal Care?
Personal Care is a key part of Care at Home. From showering to getting dressed, brushing teeth to shaving, it can include any daily task. Our Care Workers can also provide other services, whether it be companionship and a cup of tea or more specialist support. Of course, certain complex conditions have particular Personal Care needs. Our Care Workers are able to help with these conditions, such as After Stroke Care, Multiple Sclerosis Care at Home and care for Cancer or Dementia. We also offer Parkinson’s Care. If you need a large amount of Personal Care, Live-in Care may be a good solution. It allows you or your loved one to remain at home with a sense of independence, while receiving as much care as they need. Live-in Carers can provide Personal Care alongside other services, such as Domestic Care, which includes light cleaning and laundry.
