This may include:

  • Personal care
  • Comfort and reassurance
  • Assistance with daily routines
  • Support for family members
  • Meal and drink preparation
  • Maintaining dignity and privacy
  • Reporting changes in condition
  • Working alongside relevant health and social care professionals

End-of-life care must be carefully assessed and coordinated with the appropriate clinical professionals.

Flexible care packages

Care needs can change over time. A client may begin with a small number of weekly visits and later require additional support, or they may only need short-term assistance while recovering from illness.
Care packages can be reviewed when circumstances change, including:

  • A change in health
  • Increased mobility needs
  • Hospital discharge
  • Changes in family availability
  • New medication routines
  • Increased personal care requirements
  • A need for more companionship
  • Progress towards greater independence

Every package should be reviewed regularly to ensure it remains safe, suitable, and person-centred.

Our approach to care

Whatever support is arranged, our approach is based on:

  • Respect and dignity
  • Individual choice
  • Independence
  • Safe and consistent care
  • Clear communication
  • Reliable visits
  • Client and family involvement
  • Confidentiality
  • Safeguarding
  • Ongoing quality monitoring

We begin by understanding the individual, their needs, and the outcomes they want to achieve. We then work with them and, where appropriate, their family or representatives to create a suitable care plan.
