What is Personal Care?

Personal care is day-to-day support with tasks that are personal and sensitive, like washing, dressing, using the toilet, or moving around safely at home.

At Acacia Homecare Reading, personal care isn’t just about routines, it’s about supporting independence, preserving dignity and building trust. Our carers take the time to understand what matters most to you, so every visit feels comfortable, respectful and completely tailored to your needs.

Whether you need just a little help in the mornings or more regular support throughout the day, we’re here to make life that bit easier and a lot more reassuring.

Who is Personal Care For?

Personal care is for anyone who needs a little extra help with daily tasks that involve their body and wellbeing, whether on a short-term basis or long-term support.
