Personal care refers to the essential assistance and support provided to individuals who require help with their daily activities due to age, illness, or disability. It encompasses a wide range of services aimed at promoting their overall well-being, independence, and quality of life. Personal care involves addressing various personal needs, including bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and mobility support, which may be challenging for individuals to perform on their own.
It emphasizes the utmost respect for the dignity, privacy, and autonomy of those receiving care, ensuring that their personal boundaries are upheld.
