Specialist care in the comfort of your own home

Bariatric visiting care

At Abicare, we have a number of specialist carers who are experienced in working with bariatric patients, and understand their specific, unique needs. We will always encourage our service users to live as independently as possible. Bariatric visiting care might include are the following:

• Personal care – bathing, dressing, going to the toilet and supervision of medicine
• Help with administering medication and managing pain, and low grade medical care including care post bariatric surgery such as keeping a wound clean
• Light housework – laundry, shopping or walking the dog
• Help with preparing your favourite, healthy meals
• Accompanying you on trips
• Companionship and mental support – Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference, especially for bariatric patients who can be particularly prone to suffering from low moods. Sometimes it’s a huge comfort to have a friendly face around the house who is there for a cup of tea and a chat as well as to offer more physical support
• Physical and mobility support – We understand that bariatric service users often have restricted mobility, we are on hand to support them in day-to-day tasks and to encourage them to live as independently as possible
• Running essential errands, for example collecting your medication or doing a food shop
• Respite Care – If you are someone’s regular care giver, and you need some extra support or a break, our team of carers can step in and help and give you peace of mind knowing that your loved one is receiving the high quality of care that they are used to
