Personal care that protects your privacy and dignity
Needing help with washing, bathing or using the toilet can feel like a big step. Our carers understand that, and they are trained to support you sensitively, explaining what they are doing and encouraging you to do as much as you can for yourself. Your privacy and dignity are respected at every visit.
Farrell Healthcare is a nurse-led domiciliary care agency. Your personal care plan is built during a free assessment with a qualified nurse, who will take time to understand your preferences, your routine and any health conditions we need to be aware of.
What our personal care service includes
Every plan is different, but our personal care visits commonly include support with:
- Personal hygiene: washing, showering, bathing and bed baths
- Dressing and undressing, including help with stockings and footwear
- Toileting and continence care, including pad changes and catheter bag care
- Hair, nail, skin and oral care, including denture care and shaving
- Moving and positioning, including safe use of hoists and mobility aids
- Skin integrity checks to help prevent pressure sores, with concerns escalated to district nurses
Trained, supervised and caring staff
All Farrell Healthcare carers are DBS checked and complete mandatory training in safeguarding, moving and handling, infection prevention and medication management. A qualified nurse assessor shadows our staff regularly, so the quality of care you receive is checked in practice and not just on paper.

Frequently asked questions
Can I choose whether I have a male or female carer?
Yes. Please tell us your preference during your free assessment and we will do our best to arrange it for every personal care visit.
What if I only need help with a bath or shower once or twice a week?
That is absolutely fine. Personal care visits can be booked on the days that suit you, whether that is daily or just a couple of times a week.
Are your carers trained in moving and handling?
Yes. All of our staff complete mandatory moving and handling training and are regularly observed in practice by a qualified nurse assessor.
