How Support Works Day to Day
When you get in touch, the team will start with a conversation about your situation, what is going well and what is becoming more difficult. If you would like to explore care further, a home visit can be arranged so a member of the team can meet the person, understand their routines and talk through what good support would look like.
A personalised care plan is then created. This sets out what will happen on each visit, preferred times and any particular wishes or concerns. The plan is reviewed regularly and can be adjusted as needs change.
Day to day, Care Professionals can support with:
- Companionship Care, such as conversation, a shared cup of tea, hobbies, puzzles, reading or a short walk, helping to ease loneliness and build confidence.
- Home Help, including light housework, laundry, making the bed, meal preparation, washing up and help with shopping or collecting prescriptions.
- Personal Care, with unhurried support for washing, bathing or showering, dressing, continence care and oral care, always delivered with dignity and privacy.
- Dementia Care, including calm reassurance, prompts, support to move safely around the home and activities that draw on familiar routines and memories.
- Care at Home more broadly, with visits arranged at times that suit the person, for example morning support, help at mealtimes or assistance in the evening.
Visit times and the type of support provided can be changed over time so that care stays appropriate if health, mobility or circumstances shift.
