What Is Personal Care at Home?
At Chamomile Care, our personal care services support adults across Oxfordshire to remain independent in their own homes.
Our carefully vetted Care Workers can help with everyday tasks that may have become more difficult, always with dignity, sensitivity and respect. We take time to understand individual routines and preferences, helping each person feel comfortable, reassured and cared for by familiar faces.
Our aim is to provide the right level of support without taking over unnecessarily, so you or your loved one can continue to feel confident and at ease at home.
Every person's needs are unique, but here are some ways our Care Workers can lend a hand:
-
Bathing, showering, and personal hygiene

Shaving and grooming
-
Oral care
-
Skin and hair care, like filing nails
-
Using the bathroom and continence support
-
Dressing and undressing
-
Help getting in and out of bed
-
Support with eating and drinking
-
Medication reminders and assistance as per the care plan
-
Catheter care
Bathing and showering
Our Care Workers handle this task with genuine respect and dignity. You or your loved one will always feel comfortable every step of the way. We maintain independence by helping only where needed, such as getting in and out of the bath safely.
Dressing
Choosing clothes can be an important part of starting the day positively. Our Care Workers can help with selecting outfits or managing difficult fastenings, so Service Users can maintain their personal style with confidence. This can make a real difference to self-esteem and wellbeing.
Oral hygiene
We offer support with brushing teeth and any other oral care. This keeps your or your loved one's smile bright and self-esteem high.
Skin and hair care
Looking well-groomed matters to everyone's wellbeing. Our Care Workers provide discreet help with skin care, hair styling, and nail filing. These small touches help one to continue feeling like themselves.
Using the bathroom and continence
We understand the private nature of bathroom needs, and so our Care Workers make sure to be dignified, respectful, professional, and polite. Whether it’s help with using the bathroom or managing continence products as required, we preserve our Service Users’ dignity at all times.
Moving position in bed
Comfort and safety in bed reduces the risk of pressure sores and other issues from developing. Our care workers come in to help you or your loved one turn over with a delicate touch and respect, and without disturbance.
Eating and drinking
Mealtimes should be an enjoyable part of the day. Our Care Workers can heat and serve ready meals attractively, provide encouragement at mealtimes, and offer support with eating and drinking where this forms part of the agreed care plan.
This helps Service Users maintain good nutrition and hydration while preserving as much independence as possible.
Managing medication
Keeping up with medication can be vital for one's health. We give gentle reminders and practical assistance as part of a tailor-made care plan. This helps ensure medication support is delivered consistently and in line with the agreed care plan.
Who is Personal Care For?
Whilst we specialise in supporting older adults, Chamomile Care also provides compassionate care for younger adults over 18. Whether helping with mobility challenges, memory issues, or other conditions, our Care Workers offer dignified support. This allows you to drop your shoulders knowing they're in caring hands.
Recovering from surgery
You or your loved one might benefit from extra support with personal tasks until they're back on their feet after a hospital stay. Our care workers provide gentle assistance during recovery and also offer dedicated rehabilitation care to help people regain their full strength.
Living alone
Living independently is precious, but can become a little bit more challenging as circumstances change. Our Care Workers visit at times that suit the routines of the families we help.
Experiencing memory challenges
Personal care routines can become troubling for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, which is why we offer kind and reassuring support that creates a sense of calm, familiarity, comfort, and security.
Struggling with hygiene
Staying fresh lifts everyone's spirits and health, but it's hard when other struggles arise. If showering feels tricky for you or your loved one, our Care Workers can help with quiet, kind care and support so you can feel clean, comfy, and confident.
How Personal Care Helps Maintain Independence
We believe personal care should promote independence and not diminish it. Our compassionate Care Workers provide support tailor-made to you or your loved one's unique routines and preferences. This holistic approach helps one continue living life on their own terms with confidence.
Many people are initially reluctant to accept help of any kind. That's why we focus entirely on what matters to the individual. Whether they'd like help with bathing, dressing, or medication, our support fits seamlessly into the lives of those we help. We complement our Service Users' daily routines, rather than disrupt them.
We strive to match you or your loved one with the same familiar Care Workers as much as possible. This consistency forms bonds that transform care from a service into a friendly relationship. With Chamomile Care, our Service Users gain not just assistance, but a dedicated friend who helps them feel secure and happy with every visit. Reach out to us for dignified, discreet personal care shaped around your routine.
Bespoke Personal Care
Everyone's care needs are uniquely their own. That's why our personal care plans centre completely around the individual's specific needs and established routines.
Whether one prefers morning showers or evening baths, our Care Workers honour this. This helps one remain at home in a friendly and well-known environment.
Care should be without interruption but with support. That's why we listen attentively and adapt our support task by task. Whether it's bathing, dressing, or medication management, we help in ways that respect our Service Users' dignity. The aim is to offer help without disrupting the rhythms of one's life.
Flexible Visiting Care To Suit Individual Lifestyles
We offer care visits that adapt to you or your loved one's changing needs throughout our visits.
Our Care Workers can visit at specific times to provide exactly the right support. Whether they would like a little help in the morning or care throughout the day, we're there when they ask us to be, as per the care plan.
Personal Care For Someone Living With Parkinson's Disease
At Chamomile Care, our management team has over 40 years’ combined experience, and we truly understand the challenges that come with Parkinson's disease. This is why we offer support that helps our service users live their lives to the fullest despite the tricky situations they may face.
Our Care Workers receive specialised training in Parkinson's support. They understand its progressive nature and how it affects everyday activities.
We recognise that personal care becomes increasingly challenging as Parkinson's advances. Tasks like bathing, dressing, or moving around require patient, specialised support. That's why we create a calm and cosy environment where you or your loved one maintains independence and feels safe.
