A new local care service in London from leading home care provider, The Good Care Group
What is home care?
Home care consists of a range of supportive care services that can be delivered to you in the comfort of your own home, a place where you are surrounded by memories that you cherish. In comparison to residential care, home care can assist you with various aspects of daily living that can be designed uniquely to fit your needs and give you the independence to live life the way you desire.
With home care, there is flexibility to choose on how often your carers visit you. The types of assistance that we can offer to you are personal care such as bathing and dressing, medication management, meal preparation, housekeeping and companionship, through to end-of-life care. Whether your needs are complex or you require a companion to continue doing the things you love, we will work closely with you or your loved one to ensure that your needs are met.
Our main purpose is for you to live safely and happily at home and is why we have a team of carers that are fully trained in an array of health conditions. The carers will work closely with your local care manager to provide a bespoke care plan tailored specifically to your needs, with the aim of always maintaining your choice and wishes.
Why may I need home care?
Depending on your personal circumstances, there are various reasons why you may need to receive home care:
A wish to stay at home
Home care has become an increasingly popular alternative compared to moving into a care home, as you can remain in the comfort of your own home surrounded by your friends, family or pet if you have one. We will ensure to support you with all aspects of your care needs, preferences and well-being.
Complex health conditions
If you are living with complex health conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis, you may benefit from receiving continuity of care and monitoring from our trained professionals.
After hospital care
If you have recently been discharged from hospital after receiving surgery and require extra assistance when moving around, taking medication and packing a wound. Our team of carers can support you for as little as one-hour a day, three times a week up until you have recovered.
Companionship
Loneliness and isolation can have an impact on well-being and quality of life. Our carers will take a kind and empathetic approach when providing companionship and support. We carefully select the most suitable carer for you by ensuring that their values and interests align with yours.
Improve quality of life
Home care can improve the quality of life for you, by introducing new activities, increasing social interaction and experiences that may not be achieved day-to-day by yourself.
Aging
As you get older, you may experience challenges with personal care, mobility issues, or health conditions that can put a strain on living independently. With Cherished Home Care we will give you the choice and support you need to gain your independence back.
Over 66% of people said they would prefer to stay in their own home.
