What is Personal Care?
Personal Care at Home helps you or your loved one complete daily tasks. This includes anything personal like bathing, getting dressed, applying creams or preparing for bed.
We work with you to develop a tailored Personal Care plan focused on your needs and preferences. You’ll get to know our Team and develop a relationship built on trust.
At Alina Homecare, we aim to match our clients with Carers who are best equipped to support your specific needs. Whether that’s a great cook who can prepare fresh, homemade meals or a reliable driver who will get you to your appointments on time. You can be sure that our Carers will treat your home with the same amount of care and respect they would treat their own.
Your home. Your care. Your choice.

How can Personal Care help?
Like all forms of Home Care, we build Personal Care around your individual requirements and routines. We always try to respect routines, ensuring you or your loved one can continue to live life on your terms. We offer two options when it comes to Personal Care:
We also provide a wide range of other Home Care services:
Personal Care for Dementia
If your loved one has dementia, maintaining their personal hygiene can be particularly challenging. They may forget simple tasks like washing or brushing their teeth. Many of our clients have dementia and our Care Workers are prepared to provide sensitive support. They are trained to preserve dignity, avoid embarrassment and know how to react to any anxiety and aggression that comes with the condition.
If your loved one’s memory is failing, we can provide regular routine. Personal Care ensures basic daily tasks are carried out and your loved one remains clean, safe and secure. At the same time, we always work to promote independence and accommodate personal needs and preferences. This could be styling hair in a certain way or using a favourite shower gel.
Find your local Alina Homecare Team to learn more about how Personal Care can be tailored to provide help for someone living with dementia at home.

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.
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. All our Teams receive exclusive training to ensure our reputation for high quality care is maintained.
How much does it 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 can I fund Personal Care?
There are many ways to fund care. Learn more by reading our guide to funding Home Care.
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.
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.
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.
What areas do you cover?
We provide care across the South of England. Find your local Team.
