Visiting Care
Flexible care visits to your home, starting from 30 minutes a week and up to as many hours as you need!
What is Visiting Care?
Visiting care is a great option for those who want to receive support while continuing to live independently in their own home. With visiting care, you can get the help you need with daily activities, medical care, companionship, or respite care, all customized to your specific needs. Visiting care can be arranged for as little as half an hour a week up to multiple visits a day, depending on your requirements.
Following is the key aspects of visiting care:
- Care in your own home
You receive support and assistance in the comfort and familiarity of your own surroundings.
- Scheduled Visits
Visiting care involves caregivers making scheduled visits to the individual's home to provide assistance and support with various activities of daily living.
- Wide range of services
Assistance can include personal care (bathing, dressing), medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, companionship, errands, transportation, and mobility support.
- Transportation
Depending on your individual's needs, caregivers may provide transportation services, accompanying you to appointments, errands, or social outings.
- Personalised care
Visiting care plans are tailored to your individual needs and preferences. You can choose the specific services you require and the frequency of visits.
- Flexible care plans
Caregivers visit your home at scheduled times to provide the specific assistance you need. This can range from a few hours a week to 24/7 care, depending on your requirements.
Benefits of Visiting Care
Live-in care can provide much needed support in a wide range of circumstances, providing comfort, companionship and reassurance. We only recruit the most friendly, compassionate people to our care teams – their focus is on giving you exactly the help that you need.
Promotes independence
Visiting care allows individuals to maintain their independence by receiving assistance with tasks they may find challenging while still being able to live in their own home.
Familiar Environment
Remaining in their own home provides individuals with a sense of familiarity and comfort, which can contribute to their overall well-being and emotional stability.
Dignity and choice
You have control over your care plan and can choose the services you need.
Peace of mind
Offers reassurance for you and your family that you’re receiving the care you need.
Family Involvement
Visiting care allows family members to remain actively involved in the care of their loved ones while providing additional support and assistance as needed.
Cost-Effectiveness
Visiting care can be a more cost-effective alternative to residential care facilities, as individuals only pay for the assistance and support they need during scheduled visits, rather than full-time residential care.
Visiting care offers a comprehensive range of support services to help you live comfortably and safely in your own home. Here's a breakdown of what's typically included:
Assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and mobility support.
Assistance with medication reminders, organizing medications, and ensuring that medications are taken as prescribed and on time.
Planning, cooking, and serving meals according to the individual's dietary preferences and restrictions, as well as assistance with feeding if needed.
Accompanying the individual on errands, appointments, social outings, and recreational activities, as well as providing transportation as needed.
Companionship significantly enhances both mental and physical health, serving as a crucial means to combat isolation and loneliness.
Providing emotional support, empathy, and reassurance to the individual and their family members, particularly during times of illness, recovery, or adjustment to changing circumstances.
