  Your Care Worker is able to fully support you with your bathing requirements. He or she can assist you in getting in and out of the bath or shower safely, as well as washing and drying your hair and body, if required.

  help you with a strip wash and get to those places that you can’t reach to ensure your comfort and hygiene.
  
• Hair Care
  In addition to hair washing and drying our carers can help you style your hair in a way that you like.

• Toileting
  Dignity is our priority when helping you maintain your urinary and faecal continence regime. Your Care Worker will provide as much or as little
  support as you are comfortable with, ranging from helping you to get to and from the toilet to monitoring and helping with your personal hygiene in order to ensure your health and comfort. This can include changing catheter and stoma bags, incontinence pads and sheets, and help with bathing and changing clothing.
