FOR THE PERSON RECEIVING CARE
Confidence in everyday routines
A small amount of support at the right time can help someone continue with familiar routines and feel more comfortable at home. Personal choice remains central, with as much or as little assistance as the person needs.
FOR RELATIVES
Reassurance that personal routines are supported
For an adult child or relative, regular personal care can provide reassurance that a parent has practical help with important daily routines. The team can explain what may be appropriate following an initial assessment.
