Personal Care
Elahera Personal Care
Personal care services involve hands-on assistance with essential daily activities that individuals cannot perform independently. These services enable individuals to continue living in their own homes by addressing fundamental needs that, if unmet, would compromise their ability to live safely alone.
Our dedicated and highly trained carers maintain professionalism and discretion in their work. They are well-informed about each client’s routines and preferences through detailed care plans, allowing them to provide personalised care tailored to individual needs.
We collaborate with clients, their families, and professionals to create and adjust care plans to meet specific requirements and preferences. Our carers are prepared to offer varying levels of support, from full physical assistance to standby support, empowering elderly individuals to maintain their independence.
Our carers are trained to provide physical personal care while upholding our clients’ dignity and ensuring their comfort levels are always respected, making them feel valued and respected.
Before joining our team, all carers undergo comprehensive induction training. We also conduct regular refresher training and quality assessments for all staff to ensure a consistently high standard of care.

Benefits of Personal Care Services
There are many benefits to choosing this type of home care over supported living or care homes.
Remain at Home: Many older adults’ desire to remain in their homes is vital, particularly if they can continue receiving the companionship and personal care services they require. Frequently, having support with daily activities is enough to allow an older adult to reside securely and contentedly at home for a prolonged duration.
Lower Cost: While personal home care has a specific cost, it is often significantly less than supported living or a nursing/care home.
Personalised Care: The care plan is tailored to the individual, focusing on the client’s specific needs. Each situation is unique, and while some may require 24-hour care, others may only need an hour or so per day.
Improved Quality of Life: Our personal care services have been shown to enhance the quality of life for our elderly clients. They can live in their own homes, maintain a level of independence, and develop a close bond with their caregiver, which fosters a sense of value and respect.
