What is Home Care?

Home care, also known as domiciliary care or care at home, is a range of services that allows individuals to receive support and assistance in the comfort of their own homes. It's a valuable option for those who wish to maintain their independence and familiar surroundings while receiving the care they need.

Types of Home Care Services

Home care encompasses a variety of services tailored to individual needs. These can include:

• Personal Care - Our compassionate caregivers provide dignified and respectful assistance with daily living activities. This includes help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and medication reminders. We strive to maintain your privacy and independence while ensuring your well-being.
• Companionship - Combat loneliness and stay socially engaged with our companionship services. Our caregivers can provide conversation, accompany you on outings, engage in hobbies, and offer emotional support.
• Domestic Support - Maintaining a clean and comfortable home can become challenging. Our home care services include light housework, laundry, meal preparation, and grocery shopping, allowing you to focus on your well-being.
• Specialised Care - We understand that some individuals require specialised care to manage complex conditions. Our experienced caregivers can provide dedicated support for those living with dementia, recovering from illness, or requiring palliative care.

Tailored Home Care Services to Meet Your Needs

Home care providers offer a range of support to individuals with many types of needs, and of all different ages. From simple drop in services to check that vulnerable individuals are safe and well, through to complex packages of care for those who might be towards the end of their journey. The beauty of home care is that the service offered is tailored to the individual and the support provided can be increased/decreased as appropriate.

Home care providers typically operate between the hours of 7am and 11pm providing support from getting up in the morning or getting into bed at night, assistance with personal care, meal preparation, companionship and even trips out to the shops!

The visits generally last from 15 minutes up to several hours and can be performed by one or more Carer's for those who might have additional needs or mobility issues. Many home care companies are now offering overnight care and 24-hour live-in support.
