Personal care in hospital

Comfort, companionship and extra support, when you need it most

A hospital stay can be tiring and unsettling – for both patients and their families. While doctors and nurses focus on treatment and recovery, our role is to provide that extra layer of one-to-one personal care and companionship to make your stay more comfortable.

With the full approval and cooperation of hospital staff, our experienced carers can:

Help with washing, dressing and toileting

Offer support at mealtimes, including feeding if required

Provide company, conversation and reassurance

Accompany you to appointments within the hospital

Be a familiar, friendly presence alongside NHS staff

Keep in touch with your family

Rest assured, this is not about replacing or duplicating the vital work of hospital teams – it’s about complementing their care, giving you or your loved one the comfort, dignity and attention that only dedicated one-to-one support can provide.

Whether for a few hours a day or longer periods, we’re here to make every hospital stay less stressful and more reassuring.

Who will help me?

As with all our services you will be looked after by one of Nightingale’s fully trained carers, whose exact hours can be tailored to your needs.

What people say about our Personal care in hospital

Your Services are an Asset to all the Families faced with the reality of co-ordinating Care for their Aging Parents, providing expert and compassionate Care. Your Carers' ensured Mum was comfortable and safe while managing her Dementia and, not long after your Services were employed, we noticed how much more Mum was engaging and less confused.

I am writing to tell you how pleased and grateful I am to have the services of your carer. It is a pleasure to have someone so capable and pleasing coming every day.

Marjorie Gilbert

On behalf of my sister Margaret and me, I just wanted to thank you and your wonderful team for looking after our mother everyday for the past six or so years. It was always such a relief to know that she was so well cared for each morning and evening and that the Carers became familiar faces to her each day.
