When it comes to supporting a loved one at home, choosing the right care makes all the difference. For many families in Chelmsford, personal care and dementia care are two of the most commonly needed services. Whether you’re looking for help with daily tasks or specialised support for memory-related conditions, this guide offers a clear overview of what to expect and how A1 Home Care can help.
What Is Personal Care?
Personal care refers to hands-on support with day-to-day activities such as:
- Washing and bathing
- Dressing and grooming
- Help with using the toilet
- Mobility support
- Assistance with meals and hydration
- Prompting or administering medication
At A1 Home Care, personal care is delivered with dignity and respect. Our carers are trained to support clients in a way that promotes independence while offering reassurance and safety. We take the time to understand individual routines, preferences, and cultural needs.

- Building familiarity and routine
- Communication techniques that reduce confusion
- Support with medication and meal preparation
- Creating a calm, reassuring environment
- Encouraging social engagement and memory stimulation
