Live-in Care
We provide round-the-clock care for individuals with complex needs or during rehabilitation. Our live-in carers are accommodated with quality living arrangements and meal options, with agreed breaks during the day.
Activities
Our carers assist you in a wide range of activities, from shopping to visiting loved ones, attending medical appointments, and visiting places of religious significance.
Overnight Care
Our overnight care service assists residents with medication, toileting, meal and fluid support, and turning during the night to prevent bed sores. A caregiver’s presence ensures resident safety and care needs are met while reducing the risk of falls for those at risk.
Palliative Care
For individuals with terminal illnesses or recuperating from serious conditions like cancer, our palliative care specialists offer companionship, medication assistance, mobility support, toileting assistance, and help with activities of daily living, all within the comfort of your home.
Elderly Care
Our elderly care services are flexible, tailored to individual needs, ranging from a few hours of care to round-the-clock service. We can create specialized plans to care for residents with complex conditions, including dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and other neurological conditions. Our carers provide peace of mind that your loved one is well-cared for, in the comfort of their own home, with safety and continuity of care at the core of our service.
Personal Care
Personal care covers activities of daily living, such as showering, bathing, dressing, toileting, changing incontinence products, hairdressing, laundry, shopping, cooking, and other needs. The timing of these activities and support is based on individual requirements and assessments.
Visiting Care
Our visiting care service is highly flexible, ranging from a few hours per day to 24-hour care. We can tailor care schedules based on your specific requirements and convenience.
Dementia Care
Our carers are trained to manage dementia and challenging behaviors. We understand the needs of individuals with dementia and memory loss, helping them maintain activities of daily living and remain at home, avoiding the need to move to hospitals or care homes. We can also provide support with musical playlists and memory stimulation, respecting individual preferences.
Respite Care
Respite care offers short-term care for one or two weeks during rehabilitation and recovery periods. This can be planned or unplanned and provides family caregivers with the opportunity to take a break, attend to other family matters, or even go on holiday.
Emergency Home Care
In sudden and emergency situations, we can quickly arrange home care support. Whether due to accidents, sudden illnesses, or unexpected emergencies, we can provide support at short notice.
Support for Younger People
We offer support for younger individuals, tailored to your lifestyle and routines, based on your unique needs and assessments. Our care services are flexible, designed to accommodate various conveniences and requirements.
Alternatives to Care Homes
Our trained carers serve as an excellent alternative to residential or nursing homes, providing care in the comfort of your chosen environment. We can assess your needs, including risk assessments, and develop a care plan in consultation with you, your family, health partners and carers.
Paying for homecare
Depending on your circumstances, your local council may contribute to the cost of homecare or you may have to pay for it yourself.
If your needs assessment recommends homecare, you may get help with the cost from the council.
What you’ll contribute depends on your income and savings. The council will work this out in a financial assessment.
If the council is paying for some or all of your homecare, they must give you a care and support plan.
This sets out what your needs are, how they will be met and your personal budget (the amount the council thinks your care should cost).
You can choose to receive your personal budget as a direct payment each month. This gives you the control to employ someone you know to care for you at home rather than using a homecare agency, though you’ll then have responsibilities as an employer.
If you’re not eligible for the council to contribute to your homecare costs, you’ll have to pay for it yourself.
