Domiciliary care
We want to support you to maintain your chosen lifestyle.
We believe that each client is unique with their own individual preferences and needs, so we keep you in control and provide you with the domiciliary care and support you want, where and when you want it. It’s your life and your homecare, so it must be your way.
Our flexible domiciliary care services are able to provide anything from a check-in visit to help with travel arrangements or domestic tasks. We can offer short term help (following an illness or because your usual carer is having a break) or longer term homecare and support.
Our dedicated team of carers are fully trained to:
- Assist with a ‘good morning’ start to the day, helping you to get up, wash, shower or bathe, dress and have breakfast
- Remind or assist you to take your medicines and collect or return medication from your pharmacy or dispensing GP surgery
- Prepare meals with or for you and assist you at mealtimes
- Collect your pension for you or with you
- Shop with you or help you to make a shopping list, go to the shops, come back and put it all away
- Help with your laundry or ironing and keeping your home clean and tidy
- Support you with social activities such as going out for a walk, attending a day centre, visiting friends or family, attending church or clubs etc
- Give a little pampering when you need it – the occasional visit to organise bathing, clean clothes, fresh bedding and a thoughtfully prepared meal
- Help with getting ready for bed
At Focus on Care, we understand that sometimes family members are unable to visit their loved ones as much as they would like and that it can help just knowing there is a friendly, caring companion who visits regularly. Companion care is one of our most requested services. When one of our Focus on Care carers provides companionship, they become a trusted friend who can keep you or your loved one socially engaged in their own home. They can also accompany them on visits with friends, family, and to other social events so that they never have to feel alone.
After a recent career change to community care it has given me the chance to give something back. I enjoy the chance to help daily and feel satisfied in what I do.
