What can our hourly carers help with?

Personal Care

Our compassionate carers provide dignified assistance with personal care tasks such as bathing, dressing, and toileting. We understand the importance of maintaining dignity and independence, so our professional carers are trained to offer support in a respectful and encouraging manner. They will work with you to establish comfortable routines that suit your preferences and needs.

Medication Management

Ensuring proper medication adherence is crucial for maintaining good health, especially for those with chronic conditions or complex treatment plans. Our hourly carers can assist with medication management by providing reminders, helping to organise medications, and ensuring that the right dosages are taken at the correct times. They can also monitor for potential side effects and report any concerns to healthcare professionals.

Meal Planning and Nutrition

Good nutrition is essential for overall well-being, but planning and preparing balanced meals can be challenging, especially for those with dietary restrictions or mobility limitations. Our hourly carers can assist with meal planning, taking into account your preferences, dietary needs, and any specific health requirements. They can prepare nutritious and delicious meals, ensuring that each dish is tailored to your tastes and dietary guidelines. Additionally, our carers can provide guidance on healthy eating habits and the importance of staying hydrated.

Light Housekeeping

Maintaining a clean and tidy home is important for both physical and mental well-being. Our hourly carers can assist with light housekeeping tasks such as dusting, hoovering, laundry, and keeping the kitchen tidy. They can also help with organising belongings, changing bedding, and other small tasks that become more challenging as care needs change.

Attending Social Activities and Appointments

Staying connected to your community and managing healthcare appointments is vital for maintaining a good quality of life. Our hourly carers can accompany you to medical appointments, ensuring you have support during consultations and help with follow-up instructions. They can also assist you in attending social activities, whether it’s a trip to your favourite café, a visit to friends, or participation in community events. This support helps you maintain your social connections and continue enjoying the activities that bring you joy.

Companionship and Emotional Support

Loneliness and isolation can significantly impact mental health, especially for those with care needs. Our hourly carers provide more than just practical assistance; they offer friendly companionship and emotional support. Whether it’s engaging in conversation over a cup of tea, playing games, or simply being a listening ear, our carers are there to provide social interaction and emotional comfort. This companionship can help improve mood, cognitive function, and overall quality of life.

Preparing for Your Care Assessment

The purpose of the Care Assessment is to establish your care needs, wishes, and preferences, to understand your health, and what you can and cannot do. We will establish who your support network is and other health professionals involved in your care. We will look at your living arrangements and environment with you and advise of any risks. We will discuss how you want to be supported. This will ensure that you are offered a personalised care plan agreed by you.

The process normally takes about 1-2 hours depending on your specific care needs, but with some planning beforehand, this can be made shorter.

What should I expect?

A review of the data collected during your initial assessment
Authentication of any Powers of Attorney
Confirmation of capacity to consent
Identification of areas of risk to you or your carer

We’ll discuss various aspects of your life and care needs, including:

  • Physical health considerations
  • Cognitive and mental health factors
  • Social and emotional factors
  • Your day-to-day life and routines
