What’s the difference between home help and personal care?

While home help and personal care are interconnected, they represent distinct forms of caregiving. Each type of service offers unique benefits, making it essential to select the suitable option for yourself or your loved one. Although there is some overlap in terminology, as a general guideline:

Home Help focuses on enhancing the wellbeing of individuals by aiding them with daily tasks in their home and community. Personal Care, on the other hand, emphasised how our support workers can assist in maintaining personal independence and comfort within the home setting.
