Types of home care in Wimbledon
Hourly care
Regular support throughout the week
Also known traditionally as domiciliary care, hourly care is a flexible option of in-home support that allows you to choose when and for how long your carer spends with you, as well as what they support you with. This could be anything from light household tasks, taking care of your pets and assisting to personal care – to accompanying you to appointments or taking you to your favourite park for some fresh air.

More and more people are choosing hourly care for themselves as a step into care, so that they get used to having someone new in their home assisting them with day-to-day activities. It’s a sure way to retain your independence without the need of moving into residential care, whilst giving you and your loved ones peace of mind that you have someone checking in on you.
Live-in care
24-hour care at home
Live-in care is round-the-clock assistance from a carefully chosen carer who lives with you in your home. A direct alternative to moving into a care home, live-in care provides you and your loved ones with the reassurance that there will always be someone to support you to live as independent a life as possible at home.
Whether you’re living with a long-term health condition such as dementia or the after effects of a stroke, or if you simply want to have companionship throughout the day and know that there is someone there at night, 24-hour live-in care could be the ideal choice for you.

We know that staying at home is the preferred option for so many, especially if they have lived in their beloved homes for many years and have filled it with cherished possessions and memories. Live-in care can enable you to do this, and so much more.
Respite care
Short-term support for caregiver breaks
Respite care is a short-term solution for anyone who requires care for a fixed period of time, usually whilst their regular caregiver is taking a break. This allows both of you to take time away from one another – giving you a bit of variety in your care routine but also allowing for your caregiver to take a well-earned rest to recharge their batteries from what can be a very demanding yet rewarding role.

Temporary respite care can also be required if you need to get to a celebration but want to allow your caregiver to enjoy themselves, or if you have a family holiday planned but want to enjoy your time away without having to worry about your care. A respite carer can accompany you to look after you and provide you with the right assistance whilst you’re away.
Lots of families are choosing respite care to give themselves the support they need to be full or part-time caregivers to their loved ones, as well as it being a great way to test if home care is suitable for you.
