Personal Care

The Care  Standard Act 2000 has established that personal cares ordinary meaning includes four main types of care which are:

  • assistance with bodily functions such as feeding, bathing and toileting
  • care falling just short of assistance with bodily functions, but still involving physical and intimate touching, including activities such as helping a person get out of a bath and helping them to get dressed
  • non-physical care, such as advice, encouragement and supervision relating to the foregoing, such as prompting a person to take a bath and supervising them during this
  • emotional and psychological support, including the promotion of social functioning, behaviour management, and assistance with cognitive functions.

Our personal care can include:

  • getting up and going to bed
  • bathing
  • showering
  • continence management
  • eating and drinking

At Starcare Ltd we aim to provide our service users with the best care possible, depending on the service plan we can help with many of the daily personal tasks that service users can find increasingly difficult to do themselves.  At Starcare Ltd we aim to provide a vital practical and social lifeline to our users.

All services are flexible to continually meet the changing needs of service users.
