About This Service

What Is Personal Care and Who Is It For?

Personal care refers to hands-on support with the intimate tasks of daily living that a person may find difficult due to age, illness, disability or reduced mobility. It is one of the most common and most important forms of home care — enabling people to maintain their hygiene, appearance and dignity without having to leave the home they love.

At Oice Support Services, we understand that receiving help with personal care is a deeply personal step. That is why we approach every visit with sensitivity, patience and genuine respect. We match each service user with a carer who suits their personality and preferences, and we take time to understand exactly how they like things done — because consistency and familiarity make all the difference.

Our personal care service is available across Dagenham, Barking, Romford and the wider East London area. Whether you need support once a day, several times a week or on a more intensive basis, we will build a care plan around your schedule and your needs.

Who We Support

Who Our Personal Care Service Is For

👴

Older Adults Living at Home

Our personal care service is ideal for older adults who need a little extra support to maintain their hygiene, appearance and daily routines. We help people stay comfortable and independent in their own home for as long as possible.

People With a Disability or Long-Term Condition

We support individuals living with physical disabilities, neurological conditions, dementia, Parkinson's disease, stroke aftereffects and other long-term health conditions who need regular, reliable personal care at home.

🏥

People Recovering From Surgery or Illness

Following a hospital stay, operation or serious illness, personal care can be a vital part of recovery. Our carers provide short-term or ongoing support while a person regains their strength and independence at home.

Our Process

How We Build Your Personal Care Plan

1

Free Home Assessment

We begin with a free, no-obligation home visit. Our care coordinator meets with you and your family to understand your daily routines, personal preferences, any medical considerations and the level of support you need.

2

Your Bespoke Care Plan

We create a detailed, written care plan that sets out exactly what support will be provided, when and how. You have full input into this plan — it reflects your life, not ours. The plan is shared with your carer before their first visit.

3

Care Begins — and We Review Regularly

Your carer follows the plan from day one. We assign consistent carers wherever possible so you build a trusted relationship. We review the plan regularly and update it whenever your needs or circumstances change.

Why Choose Us

“We never rush a personal care visit. Our carers take the time to do things properly — and to do them the way you like them done.”
