The benefits of in home care and support

Greater Independence

If you worry about losing your independence, care at home can give you the confidence to live safely in your own home, surrounded by all the things and faces that are familiar to you.

Care at home means trusted professional home care workers supporting you as much or as little as you need. It might mean a trip to the shops, doing a load of laundry or helping you shower and feel your best.

Peace of mind

Do you find struggling with your daily routines stressful?

It can cause your family, friends and caregivers to worry too, especially if you live further away.

Getting that bit of extra help and making a few adaptations, gives you and your family reassurance that you’re living safely, so you can spend stress-free time together.

Less time in hospital

It’s no surprise that falls and unnoticed illnesses, including Alzheimer’s disease can lead to increasingly frequent and longer NHS hospital admissions.

We can introduce daily routines and equipment as part of your care plan to keep you safer. Our home carers work with other care professionals to treat you at home - reducing the likelihood of a hospital stay and cutting down on recovery time too.

Your home, not a care home

You might think that care at home is a short-term fix and a care home must be inevitable.

But, being in your own home among familiar things and faces, is good for mental and physical well-being.

Tailored care can help you continue to see your home as the best place to live.
