Home Care

Care at home services provide practical, flexible support that helps people live safely and comfortably in their own homes. Trained care workers can assist with everyday tasks such as:

  • personal care
  • shopping and meal preparation 
  • help with taking medication
  • getting out and about

While also offering friendly companionship and reassurance.

Support is tailored to each person’s needs and routines, whether that means a short weekly visit or more regular help throughout the day.

By focusing on dignity, independence, and choice, care at home services enable people to stay connected to their communities and maintain the lifestyle that matters most to them.

Live-in Care

Live-in care is a more personalised form of care at home where a trained care worker lives with someone in their own home, providing dedicated one-to-one support throughout the day. It can be a more affordable and reassuring alternative to residential care, and is also suitable for couples who wish to stay together.

Support is tailored to individual needs and can include:

  • personal and complex care
  • help with medication
  • household tasks including caring for pets
  • cooking
  • shopping
  • companionship
  • support to stay connected with family and friends
  • help to continue or try new activities
  • help with appointments
  • day-to-day organisation

Live-in care is well suited to people living with conditions such as dementia, neurological illnesses, frailty, or those needing palliative or end-of-life care.

By offering consistent, carefully matched support in familiar surroundings, live-in care promotes comfort, wellbeing and better outcomes. It can also be used as a short-term respite option when needed.
