Everyday support, done well
Personal Care & Daily Living
Unhurried, respectful help with the personal routines that shape every day — delivered by workers who understand that this is your home and your body, and that you are in charge.
Personal care is intimate work. Done badly it strips away dignity; done well it is barely noticeable — the day simply works. We train our team to move at your pace, to ask before they act, and to support only what you actually want support with.
Because Kalgi Care is nurse-led, personal care here also carries a clinical eye. Skin changes, swelling, pain, appetite and mood all get noticed and reported, rather than passing unremarked.
What personal care covers
Showering and bathing
Assistance in the shower or with a bed bath, at whatever level of support you need — from standby supervision to full physical assistance.
Grooming and dressing
Hair, shaving, oral care, skin care, nails and choosing and putting on clothes, exactly the way you like them.
Toileting and continence
Discreet, unhurried support with toileting, continence aids and hygiene, with a nursing continence plan where that helps.
Transfers and mobility
Safe transfers with hoists, slide sheets, transfer belts and mobility aids, using correct technique that protects both of us.
Morning and evening routines
Getting up, getting settled, and everything either side — including the small rituals that make a day feel like yours.
Overnight support
Sleepover and active overnight support where you need someone available through the night.
How we work
- You choose the gender of the worker who supports you with personal care
- We match for culture, language and personality, not just availability
- The same small team wherever possible, so you are not re-explaining yourself
- A written plan covering how you like things done, not just what needs doing
- Any concern can be raised at any time, without it affecting your care
How this is funded
Personal care is funded from Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Life. This is usually the most flexible part of an NDIS plan, and it is often possible to adjust the mix of supports without a plan review. We will show you how far your current funding actually goes before you commit to anything.
