Personal Care, On Your Terms

Personal care covers the intimate, everyday tasks that can become harder with age, illness or disability washing, dressing, grooming and using the toilet. It's deeply personal, which is why our carers are trained to provide it with patience, discretion and genuine respect.

We focus on what you can do, supporting the rest, so you keep as much independence and privacy as possible.

    I am grateful for the care that my auntie receives from this company. The way the staff approached my auntie was more than professional and amazing she liked them from the very first day.

    My parents have been receiving care for quite some time. We had the same couple of carers all the time which was nice. The manager Cleo was amazing couldn't ask for any more.

    I first contacted Ark Care a few weeks ago and was dealt with immediately. Mam had an introductory visit the next day and the care plan was put in place the following day! All in all brilliant service.
