UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS
What does personal care at home involve?
Support with personal routines can make each day feel more manageable. Made4Care provides personal care at home in Peterborough and Cambridge, shaped around your preferences, privacy and independence. You decide how you would like support to fit into your day.
You do not need to have every detail worked out before you call. We can talk through the parts of daily life that are becoming difficult, what is already working well and what kind of assistance would feel right.
PRACTICAL HELP, PERSONAL ATTENTION
How personal care can support you
Your assessment helps us agree which tasks to include and how much time is needed. Support is shaped around your abilities and preferences.
Bathing & showering
Help with a bath, shower or strip wash, planned around your comfort, mobility and the facilities in your home.
Dressing & grooming
Support to choose clothes, get dressed and follow your usual grooming routine, including the small details that help you feel like yourself.
Toileting & continence
Sensitive assistance with using the toilet and agreed continence routines, with privacy and respectful communication at every step.
Oral & everyday hygiene
Practical help with brushing teeth, denture routines and personal hygiene, following the preferences recorded in your care plan.
Morning & evening visits
Support to get ready for the day or settle for the evening. Tell us which parts of your routine are becoming difficult.
A plan that fits together
Where assessed and agreed, visits can also include medication support, a meal or companionship. The visit length should allow time for the care you need.
THE MADE4CARE APPROACH
Your dignity comes first
Accepting help with washing or dressing can feel like a big step. We take time to understand what feels comfortable, explain the support before providing it and respect your choices throughout the visit. You are encouraged to do the things you can manage yourself, with assistance where it makes a difference.
- We listen to your preferences before agreeing support.
- Your care plan records the help and routines that matter.
- With consent, family members can be involved.
- Contact the team when your needs or circumstances change.
IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
When might personal care help?
When everyday tasks feel harder
You may be finding washing, dressing or getting ready more tiring, or need a little assistance to keep your usual routine.
When circumstances change
Following a change in mobility or health, an assessment can help identify the support needed at home.
When a relative needs support
If you are helping someone arrange care, we involve them in decisions and discuss how family can contribute with their consent.
CLEAR ARRANGEMENTS FROM THE START
What will your care cost?
