Physical Disability Care : Empowering Independence

Introduction

Living with a physical disability shouldn’t mean giving up on independence or dignity. At GentleDove Healthcare Ltd, we provide tailored care that enables adults with physical disabilities to live life on their own terms—whether at home or in a supported living setting.

Our care services are flexible, person-centred, and focused on helping individuals lead fulfilling lives while receiving the assistance they need. Whether it’s daily support with mobility or help managing complex routines, we work to remove barriers—not independence.

From spinal injuries to progressive conditions like multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy, our experienced team delivers compassionate care that respects individuality, encourages growth, and promotes inclusion.

Who Our Care Is For

Our physical disability care services are suitable for:

  • Adults aged 18+ with mobility impairments or reduced physical function.
  • People living with long-term conditions such as muscular dystrophy, spinal injuries, arthritis, or Parkinson’s disease.
  • Individuals recovering from injury or post-surgical procedures.
  • People using assistive equipment (wheelchairs, hoists, prosthetics) who need ongoing support.
  • Those transitioning from hospital to home who need step-down care before regaining full independence.
  • Whether short-term or ongoing, our support adapts to meet changing circumstances and goals.

What Our Physical Disability Support Includes:

Every person is unique, so our support is always personalised. Services may include:

  • Mobility Assistance: Help with transferring, walking aids, wheelchairs, or hoists to support safe movement around the home or community.
  • Personal Care: Bathing, toileting, dressing, grooming, and hygiene support with complete respect for your comfort and privacy.
  • Medication Management: Assistance with medication routines, reminders, or support with applying prescribed creams or eye/ear drops.
  • Nutritional Support: Help with meal preparation, feeding, hydration reminders, or following dietary requirements.
  • Household Assistance: Support with cleaning, shopping, laundry, or managing home equipment and adaptive tools.
  • Community Engagement: Escorting to work, social activities, or appointments, promoting full participation in community life.
  • Coordination with Healthcare Professionals: Liaison with GPs, physiotherapists, or occupational therapists to ensure seamless care.

Our approach combines practical assistance with emotional and motivational support, helping individuals stay confident, active, and connected.

  3. Carer Matching: You’ll be matched with trained carers who suit your personality, needs, and schedule.
  4. Ongoing Monitoring: We provide regular reviews and remain responsive to any changes in health or lifestyle.
