Help with Washing, Dressing and Personal Care in Peterborough
Need help with washing, dressing, bathing, toileting or getting ready at home in Peterborough? Ndima Healthcare provides respectful, person-centred personal care for adults and older people who need practical support with daily routines.
Families often contact us when a loved one is struggling to wash properly, finding it harder to get dressed, becoming less steady in the bathroom, missing meals or medication, or needing morning and evening support. This could be a parent, grandparent, husband, wife, partner, aunt, uncle, sibling, neighbour or another important person in your life.
Quick answer
Personal care means practical help with private daily tasks such as washing, dressing, toileting, continence care, getting up, going to bed and staying comfortable at home.

You may be searching because a grandparent, aunt, uncle, partner, parent or loved one is not washing properly, wearing the same clothes, struggling with the bathroom, becoming anxious about showering, or needing help getting ready in the morning or settled at night.

Personal care can be built around the person’s routine
Care should feel respectful, calm and practical. We look at what the person can still do independently, where they need support, and how they prefer that support to be given.
Washing and bathing
Support with washing, showering, bathing, grooming, oral care, skin care and feeling clean and comfortable.
Dressing and getting ready
Help choosing suitable clothing, getting dressed, changing clothes, getting ready for the day or preparing for bed.
Toileting and continence care
Discreet, respectful support with toileting routines, continence care and maintaining dignity and privacy.
Morning visits
Support getting out of bed, washing, dressing, preparing breakfast, medication prompts and starting the day safely.
Evening visits
Help getting changed, washing, toileting, preparing for bed, settling routines and reassurance before the night.
Meals and medication prompts
Support with meals, drinks, hydration and medication prompts where these are part of the agreed care plan.
Risk assessments, care plans and person-centred support
Personal care is intimate. It needs to be planned properly, delivered respectfully and reviewed when needs change.
Assessment before care starts
We consider routines, mobility, communication, consent, privacy, continence needs, home risks and family concerns.
Person-centred care plan
The care plan explains what support is needed, how the person prefers to be supported and what carers should do if concerns arise.
Reviews when needs change
If needs change, or if the person, family, carers or professionals raise concerns, the care plan and risk assessments can be reviewed.
