What is visiting home care?
Visiting care or domiciliary care is when a carer visits your home to provide personal care and support. This might be a regular visit taking anywhere between fifteen minutes to several hours, or it could be longer sits, outings or a tailored package after a hospital treatment or visit.
A visiting carer helps you when you need more support in your own home. Sometimes you may need our assistance with getting up and going to bed, or help with washing and dressing. At other times, you may need support with everyday tasks such as meal preparation, household help, or going shopping.
- Personal care: bathing, dressing, help with going to the toilet and supervision of medicine.
- Bedtime and morning routines: help with getting up and getting ready for bed.
- Food preparation and help at meal-times.
- Light housework: laundry, cooking, and cleaning.
- Companionship and social interaction.
- Social activities: visits to clubs and to see friends.
- Errands: shopping and collecting prescriptions.
Who will be my carer?
A small team of carers will be trained to understand your care plan and know exactly how you like things done. If any of the carers on your team are not available because of holiday or sickness, Abicare arranges for another trained carer to visit you.
All of our carers are carefully selected and complete Abicare’s comprehensive and proven training course based on the highest industry standards. After that, your care team is given ongoing support and will use the Abicare system to stay in touch with each other, monitoring your care delivery and providing help when needed, to make sure you get the best care possible.
Other types of visiting care services available
Sits and outings give you that extra bit of help when you need it most, allowing you to go on trips out of the house feeling confident, or get help when your regular carer takes a break. An Abicare carer can be there to support you on trips to the shops, the park or anything else.
You don’t need to buy a full care package to arrange Abicare sits and outings and you can book everything from elderly sitting services to having a carer help with regular outings or special occasions, such as attending a wedding or a birthday.
For the extra peace of mind that comes with sits and outings, contact Abicare today.
