Care support in your own home

Care at home support allows people to continue to live at home whilst receiving additional support from a trained carer. Our carers can help with household and personal care tasks to help maintain a client’s independence and quality of life whilst giving family members peace of mind and respite.

The service is tailored to each individual and can be used long-term or for shorter periods of rehabilitation, convalescence, and recuperation.  From a 15-minute check-up to several visits a day to live-in care – we can adapt our care to as and when you need it.

Call or email us for an initial friendly chat and we can talk through your options and how we can help.  The next step would be a home assessment by our Care Services Manager to create a care plan that meets your needs and then we will match you with a carer who will visit and support as much or as little as needed.

There are two options for paying for care, either through local authority funding support or privately by yourself. First step is to contact your local council to see if you are eligible for support. They will carry out a needs assessment which will determine the type and amount of support required.  The number for Central Bedfordshire 0300 300 8303 to arrange an assessment.

There are many benefits for a Care at Home service, it gives you reassurance as you continue to live at home independently and your family peace of mind when they can’t visit themselves. Other benefits include:

• Living at home on your terms
• A flexible, personalised care plan specific to your needs and preferences
• Keeping your pets
• Staying in your local community and near to friends
• Maintaining your social life with supported trips out.
• Condition-led support for learning disabilities, dementia and other complex care requirements
• Palliative care and end of life support from a trusted carer

There are different funding options for care; your local council may offer financial support, or you may have to fund it yourself. Regardless of your circumstances, we will work with you to assess your need and create a personalised care plan with suitable costs.

This could start from short care visits to longer regular visits to 24-hour live-in care. More complex care such as the need for a hoist to get access to a bathroom and/or to get out of bed in the morning or administration of medication can also be arranged.

Our costs are relative to the amount and type of care needed and we will talk you through these options in an honest and open way.  Please do get in touch for more information

We will carry out a home assessment and talk through your requirements to create a care plan.  We will then match you with a carer that suits your needs and interests to help build a good, trustworthy relationship. Our carers are kind and encouraging, all checks and training are given as part of their induction, and they all embody our values of compassion and respect.

We understand that your care journey may change which is why we put in regular reviews with you and relevant family members and friends, where you can feedback and any changes to your carer or care plan can be considered. We are here to talk over the phone if you have any immediate concerns and will always take any queries seriously.
