Personal Care

Starting your day feeling refreshed and confident is one way you can feel good about yourself and boost your sense of well being. Our personal care support at home helps you feel confident about your personal hygiene and grooming. Taking a shower, grooming, getting dressed or undressed and using the bathroom are things we take for granted. But they can be more difficult as we get older, or after hospitalization or an illness.

Rubies Nursing Care Workers and Nurses can safely help get you:

• In and out of bed
• Dress and undress
• Manage your fastenings
• Put on your compression stockings
• Have a shower or shave
• Use the bathroom or toilet.

You decide how much or how little care and support you need. We know even a little bit of help can make all the difference to how you feel about life.
