Frequently Asked Questions

Personal Care in Thornton-Cleveleys — your questions answered.

What does personal care at home include in Thornton-Cleveleys?
Personal care covers the intimate support tasks that a person needs help with due to age, disability or ill health. In Thornton-Cleveleys, Briars Homecare provides bathing and showering, dressing and undressing, hair and skin care, oral hygiene, continence care and assistance with getting up and going to bed.
How do Briars carers maintain dignity during personal care?
All our carers are trained in dignity-first personal care. This means explaining what they are going to do before they do it, working at the person's pace, preserving privacy wherever possible and always treating the person as an individual with their own preferences and history. We also take time to match carers carefully to clients.
Can personal care visits in Thornton-Cleveleys be funded by Lancashire County Council?
Yes. Lancashire County Council's adult social care team can carry out a care needs assessment to determine whether a person qualifies for funded personal care visits. Direct payments allow clients to choose their own provider — and as an LCC-approved provider, Briars Homecare can be selected.
Can I choose whether my carer is male or female for personal care?
Yes. We understand that personal care is intimate and that carer gender preference matters to many clients. Where possible, we will match a carer of your preferred gender and will always discuss this at the home assessment stage.
