What Is Cystic Fibrosis?

Cystic Fibrosis (often referred to as ‘CF’) is a genetic condition that some people are born with. It cannot be caught or transferred, though 1 in 25 of us carries the gene responsible for the condition and we’d never be aware of this.

It currently affects around 10,600 people in the United Kingdom. The gene that causes CF is responsible for the movement of salt and water in and out of our cells. It can cause a build-up of sticky mucus in our lungs, organs and digestive systems. Cystic fibrosis is usually diagnosed in the screening of newborns and is most common among families with a history of the condition.

It’s important to note that a combination of medication, controlled nutrition, physiotherapy and exercise will help with the control of the condition and allow for a happy, healthy life for those with CF. Our home care staff will assist with the measures to manage the condition, giving those with CF and their loved ones some respite and assistance when they need it.

How Home Carers Assist With Cystic Fibrosis

With correct preparation and planning, it is very possible to offer complete care to people with Cystic Fibrosis in their own homes.

Provided you have a good understanding of the condition and the relevant treatments that are needed, you can create schedules and systems to apply the right medication and treatments at the correct times.

In some cases, it may be worth reviewing the safety or life-improvement equipment that your home may require. This may take the form of specialised beds, riser chairs, support bars or stairlifts.

We know that some days will be easier than others and that it’s well worth being prepared for everything CF can bring. It can also be extremely hard for loved ones or relatives who are trying to provide care at home.

The Great Care Company is here to help people with CF across Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. We provide the very best home carers to assist you with our award-winning service.

We can care for a wide range of ages and will effectively help you, even if you are suffering from secondary conditions or health complications that may not be directly related to CF.

We suit our carers to you, personally, to help form a bond that goes beyond basic care. We want to support you, physically and emotionally and help you or your loved ones grow and feel truly looked after.

We know that Cystic Fibrosis can make life difficult at times and we want to show you that it does not have to restrict your quality of life. This is why we come to you, at home and provide the support you and your loved ones need, for as long as you need it.

Who We Can Help

Making Cystic Fibrosis Managable At Home

It’s ok to seek help when you need it. We make sure that you get the best carers who suit your needs exactly. CF home care is ideal for:

  • Short or long term help when it’s needed the most.

  • People over 18 years of age who would like help to enable them to be more independant.

  • Keeping families together without the need for care homes.

  • Providing assistance with demanding physical or medical requirements.

  • Encouraging mobility and physical activities where possible.

  • Clients who want to control the days and the ours that they are visited.

  • Assistance with prescription pickups and administering of medication.

  • Help with physically demanding tasks ranging from rehabilitation and exercise to help around the home.

  • Creating time and opportunities for loved ones and family members to have a break for themselves.

  • Help with mundane tasks like cleaning, washing up and laundry.

  • Help identify ways that life could be improved with a few simple changes.

  • Having someone there as a companion for emotional, physical and mental support.

Seeking help can often be hard and the first step is often identifying that help is required. Rest assured, The Great Company will always find a way to assist, when you need it and to a budget that is comfortable for you.

What Home Support Services Can We Provide?

Personal Hygiene

There may be times with CF when maintaining personal hygiene can be difficult. Our carers will provide dignity, privacy and help as you need it.

Physical & Emotional Support

Simply taking care of yourself physically is not enough. There may be times when you just need to talk and feel support, love and encouragement.

Treatments & Medication

Treatments for CF can vary. Our fully-trained staff will aid with everything from physical therapy and medication administration to monitoring your condition.

Food & Hydration

A healthy diet can make a big difference to your general wellbeing. We can assist with meal planning, cooking for you and your loved ones and even shopping or making a brew!

Helping to Train Your Loved Ones

Sometimes, you will need some support to train family members into the care roles. We can provide support whilst vital skills (like IV antibiotic management) are being learned.

Monitoring & Understanding

It’s vital when looking after those with CF that changes in condition are closely monitored and understood. Our carers give you that extra insight into feeling safe and secure.

If You Have Pets, We’ll Help!

We know there may be restrictions on having pets with CF but rest assured, we will assist in looking after your furry friends! We can feed them, clean up after them or even take them for walks.

Caring Beyond What’s Expected

We handpick each carer to match with those in their care. Providing support and a bond that extends beyond basic physical needs.

Is Home Care The Best Option For CF Patients?

You should consider every possibility before committing to any decision. Health and welfare both physically and emotionally should come first. Here are a few things to consider:

Advantages

  • Familiar surroundings always put us at ease and make us feel most comfortable.

  • Our home care staff are matched to you and will be consistent and familiar, rather than different people coming into your home all the time.

  • Home care means no restrictions on access to family, friends and pets.

  • You are in control to choose the days, hours and services you need.

  • Family life can be enhanced by home carers, as opposed to the strain that care homes can cause.

  • Our carers fit around your needs allowing for a greater degree of freedom and independence.

  • We can assist with virtually anything that may be difficult for the person with CF or their loved ones.

  • Our care staff work around your daily routines.

  • Dignity, privacy, personal space and emotional support are respected by our carers.

  • Home care can be a much more affordable option than care homes.

  • Each person in our care is treated as a unique individual and our service is geared up as such.

  • Your need for independence is respected and encouraged. We want to work with you and help you to feel valued and able to succeed in all you do.

  • Our experienced care staff are able to monitor and identify any areas of concern or changes in condition that may require additional medical assistance.

  • We understand that loved ones may need as much support as the person with CF. We provide that support.

  • Your quality of life should come before everything. Our service is there to enhance your view of yourself, the world and the situation you’re in. Not simply to provide physical assistance.

Disadvantages

  • Our service is geared up for people over the age of 18.

  • Secondary conditions (such as severe learning disabilities) may require extra training for our staff. This will always be at our own expense, not yours.

  • We work in line with your existing medical diagnosis and recommendations. We cannot advise or assist with alternative therapies that may not be medically approved.

  • The may be occasions where home assistance is not the most beneficial way of helping the health of the person with CF. We’ll always work to identify and advise on what is right for the person.

  • Some homes may require modifications for mobility issues. We can advise and potentially arrange for these to take place but it is not a service our carers can assist with.

  • Specialised medical equipment may require further staff training. This is something we can arrange.
