Start with a Care Needs Assessment

Your initial step should be to contact Home Instead Dorchester for a care needs assessment. This assessment will give you a clear understanding of the level of care required, as well as any potential adjustments to your parents’ home that could make life easier for them.

The goal isn’t just to provide help but to promote independence for as long as possible. Our team works closely with families to create a care plan that meets both your loved ones’ practical needs and emotional well-being.

The Types of Assistance We Offer

Home care encompasses more than just medical or nursing care. Our Care professionals offer a variety of services, all tailored to meet your parents’ specific needs:

Household Chores

Tasks like cleaning, meal preparation, and laundry can become overwhelming with age. Our care professionals are here to assist with this, allowing your parents to continue living comfortably in their home.

Personal Care

One of our most important services is personal care, from bathing and dressing to getting out of bed. Our care professionals provide dignified support that respects your parents’ privacy and routines.

Errands

Grocery shopping, pharmacy runs, and general errands are part of daily life, but they can become challenging with age. Our team can assist with errands, helping your parents stay on top of their needs without stress.

Social Companionship

One of the often-overlooked aspects of ageing is loneliness. Our care professionals don’t just provide practical help—they offer companionship too. Whether it’s a chat over a cup of tea, assistance with hobbies, or transportation to a local event, we’re here to keep your loved ones connected and engaged.
