COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Hygiene Care
What is personal hygiene care?
Personal hygiene care is help with bathing, showering, oral care, hair care, shaving and skin care. It is delivered with respect for privacy and dignity, and supports health as well as confidence.
How often should an older person bathe or shower?
It depends on the person, their skin and their preferences. Many people prefer a full bath or shower a few times a week with a daily wash in between. We follow the routine you are comfortable with.
Can I choose a male or female carer?

How much does personal hygiene care cost?

What if my relative refuses help with washing?
