Care types

Six ways to arrange care

Most families start with one and add another as needs change. Moving between them does not restart anything — same carers, same plan, amended hours.

01

Respite Home Care

Family carers need time off too. We step in for an afternoon, a weekend or a fortnight, keeping the same routine, the same medication schedule and the same standard of company so nothing slips while you are away.

02

Daily Home Care

A planned visit at the same time each day covering personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and light housekeeping — the routine that lets someone stay in their own home rather than move into residential care.

03

Hospital to Home Care

Most readmissions happen in the first fortnight after discharge. We collect the discharge summary, set out the medication, arrange transport to follow-up appointments and watch for the warning signs the ward asked us to watch for.

04

Advanced Care

Clinical tasks that need a registered nurse, delivered at home: catheter and stoma care, PEG feeding, injections, pressure-area management and wound dressing, all under a written care plan reviewed with your GP.

05

Specialized Care

Conditions that change what good care looks like. Our dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke-recovery and palliative teams train specifically for those needs and stay with the same client so familiarity is never lost.

06

Hourly Home Care

The most flexible arrangement we offer. Book from a single hour a week up to waking nights and live-in cover, and change the schedule week to week as needs change.

What a visit covers

Included in every care plan

Care types differ in hours and clinical depth, not in what a visit is allowed to include. Nothing below is charged as an extra.

Personal care

Washing, dressing, continence support and skin checks, done the way the person prefers them done.

Medication

Prompting, administering and reordering, recorded on every visit and reconciled after each hospital stay.

Around the house

Meals, laundry, shopping, bins and the small repairs that quietly stop being possible.

Getting out

Appointments, the shops, the club on a Thursday — company for the trip, not just transport.

Clinical tasks

Catheters, stoma care, PEG feeding, injections and wound dressing by a registered nurse.

Company

The part families most often ask for and services most often skip. It is in every visit, not billed apart.

Not sure which

Most people ask us before they know what to ask for

That is normal, and it is what the assessment is for. Describe the week as it currently goes — what is hard, who is helping, what has already been tried — and a nurse will tell you which of the six fits, or tell you honestly that you do not need us yet.

Dedicated home care

Stay healthy and strong to enjoy life

Tell us what a good week at home looks like and we will build the care around it — the same faces, the same hours, reviewed as often as things change.
