1. Home Care (or domiciliary care)

Home care, also known as domiciliary care, involves carefully planned visits from a skilled care professional at designated times throughout the day. These visits offer a range of support to individuals in various ways, from assistance with daily tasks to personal hygiene care. Our tailored care services are designed to meet your specific needs and requirements, ensuring that you receive the support you need when you need it most through our custom care plan.

2. Night Care

This involves a paid carer or nurse staying the night in your home. They can assist with any toilet needs, and re-positioning in bed and can provide reassurance to those who live alone.

Night care can be used to relieve relatives and loved ones of their caring duties, allowing them to enjoy a good night’s sleep. This can be for one night, or more if required. Night care can also be used for respite purposes.

3. Live In Care

If an individual requires round-the-clock care, then live-in care is the best option. This will involve help with preparing food, personal hygiene needs and assistance with mobility. Other family members can also benefit emotionally and physically from this type of care.

4. Respite care

If you are a full-time carer to a loved one in their own home then you can greatly benefit from respite home care, especially if you need time away or you wish to go on holiday. Respite care also covers night-time care needs.

5. Dementia Care

Many individuals don’t realise that they can use the services of a specialist dementia home care service, and many carers and nurses are trained in caring for individuals with dementia. There are long and short-term care plans available.
