Visiting Care
What is Visiting Care
If you’ve ever felt like you could use some extra support at home, help is available in the form of visiting care. Visiting care from a professional carer offers completely tailored and personalised support, all while allowing you to remain living happily and independently at home. The ageing population is especially at risk of loneliness and isolation. While home care visits provide help with practical everyday tasks, they also provide so much more. Visiting care offers a helping hand, emotional support or just a friendly conversation right when you need it most. If you are considering visiting care for yourself or a loved one, then our visiting care guide will answer many of the questions that you may have. Although visiting care is a good option for individuals with minimal care requirements, it may not be suitable if your care needs are substantial or you are living with a complex medical condition. Live-in care provides a highly-personalised and dedicated standard of care that is difficult to achieve from visiting care alone.
If you would like to learn more about how live-in care can benefit you or your family, do not hesitate to contact our friendly advisors to discuss your care at home needs.
Why Visiting Care
Visiting care, or domiciliary care, is hourly or drop-in care provided in your own home. You can personalise your care by choosing the time of day, the length, and the frequency of the visits. Whether you choose hourly visiting care, weekly, or bi-weekly visits, visiting care is a great way to receive bespoke and quality care right in the comfort of your own home.
Visiting home care can involve a number of services including personal care, meal preparation, medication management, and household duties. Whatever the type of help or support you require, there is a visiting home care solution available to meet your care needs.
Are You Suitable
Home visit care services are suitable for anyone that requires extra support around their home or could benefit from the consistent companionship home care provides. If you have care needs but do not want to lose your independence or lifestyle, visiting care allows you or your loved ones to receive the care you need without having to leave your much loved-home. Age-related mobility problems or frailty, disability and illness can all make it hard to cope with everyday activities such as getting dressed, bathing or preparing meals. Visiting care is ideal for anyone that requires some practical help with day-to-day tasks but does not require round-the-clock care.
If you have substantial or on-going care needs, continuing care or complex care may be a more suitable option. If you have a chronic illness, disability or require support following a hospital stay, complex care allows you to receive quality care at home from a specialist live-in care provider. Such highly personalised and nurse-led care will not only help you meet the challenges of your specialist conditions, but may also greatly improve the quality of your life.
