Home Care Services for the Elderly
Supporting independent living with care at home for the elderly
10 million people in the UK are over 65 years old, and our life expectancy is increasing, so home care for the elderly is increasing in demand as families realise this is a viable alternative to residential care, or nursing homes.
Personal Care
Having support with personal care, whether it’s help with dressing, bathing, or assistance with meals and medication, can make a big difference to your quality of life. We understand that personal care can be sensitive to each individual. That’s why our Care Professionals are discreet and take time to build a close rapport with our clients to make sure it is a more individual and personal experience.
Different people have different needs and we adapt our personal care services to suit your specific requirements. Our caregivers are trained to provide care with dignity and respect.
Our care and support also takes into account other things such as health conditions or the frailties associated with ageing and we can offer care at home services tailored for those living with life changing or long-term illnesses such as dementia, Parkinson’s and other conditions.
Health at Home
Living at home while contending with a health issue is an impossible thought for many. With our new range of clinical care services, we can help people live happily at home and assist them with all kinds of challenging health conditions. In addition to delivering services such as companionship care or dementia care, we also have trained Health caregivers who can help with a range of clinical tasks such as catheter care, stoma care and feeding tube assistance. We can also help prevent unnecessary hospital admissions by liaising with your healthcare team to ensure that any issues are addressed early on. If you are looking for a support package on your return home from hospital, we can also facilitate effective hospital discharge.

Our Health caregivers
Your health needs are met at home by our qualified Health caregivers who are carefully matched according to the client’s individual requirements. Each Health caregiver undergoes professional and clinical training by accredited health professionals, enabling them to deliver the right care, in the right way for each specific health condition. This is followed by an assessment that establishes the individual’s capability to perform that valuable role.
Stay well at home
Our Health caregivers accumulate a wealth of information about a client’s ongoing health and wellbeing. With this information, CarePlus Healthcare can support the work of primary and acute healthcare teams and GP practices, and ease pressures on health and social care.
