Professional, Dignified Personal Care in Pembrokeshire
At Care and Companionship with Emma, we understand that personal care is just that – deeply personal. We approach every aspect of personal care with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and professionalism, ensuring our clients maintain their dignity and independence whilst receiving the support they need.
Our Personal Care Services
Our fully trained and insured care professionals provide comprehensive personal care support tailored to each individual's needs and preferences. We work closely with you and your family to create a personalised care plan that respects your routines, choices, and comfort.
What We Can Help With
Personal Hygiene Support We provide assistance with all aspects of personal hygiene, including washing, bathing, and showering. Whether you need full support or just a helping hand, we're here to ensure you feel clean, comfortable, and refreshed. We take time to make bathing and washing a pleasant, unhurried experience rather than a rushed task.
Dressing and Grooming From selecting appropriate clothing to helping you get dressed, we support you to look and feel your best every day. We can also assist with grooming tasks such as hair care, shaving, and skincare, helping you maintain your personal standards and self-esteem.
Continence Care We provide discreet, dignified continence care with the utmost sensitivity. Our experienced team understands the challenges that incontinence can present and approaches this aspect of care with particular compassion and respect for your privacy.
Mobility Assistance If you need help moving around your home, getting in and out of bed, or transferring to and from chairs, our care professionals are trained in safe moving and handling techniques. We can also assist with the use of mobility aids and equipment.
Medication Administration Taking medication correctly and on time is crucial for maintaining health and wellbeing. Our care professionals are trained in safe medication administration and can help ensure you take the right medication at the right time. We maintain detailed medication records and can liaise with healthcare professionals as needed.
Safe and Professional Medication Support
Medication management can be complex, especially when multiple medications are prescribed at different times throughout the day. Our medication administration service includes:
- Medication Prompting – gentle reminders to take medication at the correct times
- Medication Administration – physically administering medication when required
- Medication Records – maintaining accurate records of all medication given
- Prescription Collection – collecting prescriptions from your GP surgery or pharmacy
- Healthcare Liaison – communicating with doctors, nurses, and pharmacists about your medication needs
- Monitoring – observing and reporting any side effects or concerns
All medication administration is carried out in accordance with current regulations and best practices, with detailed records kept for your safety and peace of mind.
Your Dignity is Our Priority
We know that accepting help with personal care can feel difficult. Many people worry about losing their independence or dignity. That's why we make it our absolute priority to provide care that:
- Respects Your Privacy – we never intrude on your personal space more than necessary
- Maintains Your Dignity – we ensure you're appropriately covered and comfortable at all times
- Follows Your Preferences – we do things your way, respecting your routines and choices
- Builds Trust – we assign consistent care professionals so you build comfortable, trusting relationships
- Takes Time – we never rush personal care, allowing time for you to feel comfortable and at ease
Person-Centred Care Planning
Every person is unique, with different needs, preferences, and routines. That's why we create individual care plans for each client, taking into account:
- Your specific personal care requirements
- Your preferred routines and timings
- Any cultural or religious considerations
- Your likes, dislikes, and comfort preferences
- Your goals for maintaining independence
- Any health conditions or mobility issues
We review care plans regularly with you and your family, adapting them as your needs change. You're always in control of your care.
Trained and Compassionate Care Professionals
All our care professionals receive comprehensive training in personal care delivery, including:
- Dignity and respect in care
- Infection control and hygiene
- Safe moving and handling
- Medication administration
- Safeguarding vulnerable adults
- Communication and relationship building

They're also fully DBS checked and insured, giving you complete peace of mind.
Supporting Independence
Whilst we're here to help with personal care tasks you can no longer manage alone, we also encourage and support you to do as much as you can for yourself. Maintaining independence is important for self-esteem and wellbeing, so we'll always work with you to identify what you can do independently and provide assistance only where it's needed.
Flexible Care to Suit Your Needs
Personal care needs can vary greatly from person to person. You might need:
- Morning calls to help you start the day
- Evening calls to help you prepare for bed
- Multiple daily visits for regular personal care
- Overnight care for reassurance and assistance through the night
- Live-in care for round-the-clock support
Whatever your requirements, we can create a package of care that works for you.
Working with Healthcare Professionals
We understand that personal care often goes hand-in-hand with healthcare needs. We work closely with:
- District nurses
- GPs and practice nurses
- Occupational therapists
- Physiotherapists
- Community mental health teams
- Other healthcare professionals
We can attend appointments with you, communicate important information to healthcare teams, and ensure any care instructions are followed correctly.
Family Involvement and Communication
We recognise that families play a vital role in care, and we welcome their involvement. We provide regular updates to family members (with your permission), discuss any concerns or changes, and work together to ensure you receive the best possible care.
