Home care across the Gold Coast

Personal care at home, done your way

Help with showering, dressing, grooming and getting around, from carers who respect your privacy and follow the routine you already have.

Personal Care

Everyday help that respects your privacy

The first hour of the day sets the tone for everything after it. Getting out of bed, showering, dressing and having breakfast can take more effort as we get older, after an illness, or when living with a disability. When those jobs get harder, it doesn't have to mean leaving the home you know. With the right support at home, you can keep your own routine and do as much for yourself as you'd like.

Talking about personal care can feel awkward, both for the person who needs it and for their family. Many people find it easier to accept help from a carer outside the family: someone who turns up when expected, explains what they're doing and lets you lead. At Inspiring Homecare, we visit people in their homes across the Gold Coast, and we always ask how you like things done before we begin.

Personal Care

What personal care can include

Each visit is planned around the things you actually want a hand with. One person might need help getting in and out of the shower twice a week. Another might like someone each morning to help them dress, take their tablets on time and get breakfast started.

Some of the everyday tasks our carers help with:

Showering, bathing and washing hair
Dressing and undressing
Grooming, shaving and skin care
Toileting and continence support
Medication prompts and reminders
Moving safely around the home, including transfers
Help at mealtimes
Making the bed and changing linen

Visits can be short or long, daily or a few times a week, and we can change them as your needs change. If your GP, nurse, physio or occupational therapist has given advice, we'll work to it, and we'll keep your family up to date if you'd like us to. Give us a call to talk through what would help.

Meals and mealtimes

Good food, cooked the way you like it

Eating well helps people keep their strength and enjoy their day. Our carers can plan the week's meals with you, write the shopping list, cook in your own kitchen and put portions in the fridge for later. We go by your recipes and your tastes, not a set menu.

If a GP, dietitian or speech pathologist has recommended a certain diet, such as softer textures or less salt, we'll stick to it. Let us know about diabetes, allergies or foods you simply don't like, and we'll plan around them.

Some people need a little help at the table: cutting food, opening packets, or a steady hand with a cup. We do it patiently and without fuss, and we'll sit and chat while you eat so meals stay a sociable part of the day.
