Personal care and daily living assistance
The tasks that get harder first, and the ones that cause falls. Done unhurried, in the person's own bathroom, at the hour they would have chosen for themselves.

- Dressing, grooming, shaving and nail care
- Getting in and out of bed, chairs and the bathroom
- Toileting and continence care, handled with privacy
- Skin care and repositioning for anyone spending long hours in bed
Usually for: someone whose mobility or strength has dropped, after a fall, or where a family member is managing personal care they find difficult.
