Home care
With home care, it’s good to feel comfortable
We all want to be surrounded by the things we love. Our friends. Our families. Our pets. Our garden.
Home Care makes this possible.
It means your loved ones can get the support they need, in the place they love. A place that’s safe and familiar, and that’s actually proven to help people feel physically and psychologically stronger for longer.
That’s why we do what we do. To enable people like your parents or grandparents, aunts or uncles, to live healthier, more rewarding lives in the comfort of their own home.
A typical Home Care visit
In all fairness, there’s no such thing as a typical Home Care visit from us. Because every visit revolves around the individual needs of your loved one, and every person is different.
With that in mind, here are some things that our highly-trained Care Experts are often asked to do.
- Help them wake up, wash and dress for the day
- Talk and reminisce about times past
- Prepare fully balanced healthy meals
- Schedule and collect medication
- Take care of the shopping
- Ease the burden by looking after those everyday chores
- Accompany them on visits to friends and family
- Help them settle into bed at night
- Go for walks together
The benefits of Home Care
When you work with us, the benefits speak for themselves. None more loudly than your family being able to stay in the place they love, for longer.
Of course, it’s much more than that. They also get 1-to-1 support. Help with everyday errands. Someone to help bathe and feed them. Someone to swap stories with. A new friend who can help them see old friends. And a safe environment – with familiar routines – that can delay age-related illnesses such as Early Onset Dementia.
In other words, everything your loved one needs to live a healthy, fulfilling life at home.
The advantages of Home Care vs a Residential Care Home
Everyone’s different. Everyone has different likes and dislikes. But here are some of the most common reasons why the people we look after would only ever choose Home Care.
- You can live independently in your own home rather than with other people
- You don’t have to share communal areas
- You can enjoy 1-to-1 care and support
- You don’t need to compete for the attention of care staff
- You can live with your pets and the things you love, rather than leave them behind
- You don’t need to worry about infections that spread quickly
- You’re free to follow your own routines rather than someone else’s
Care that evolves
We want your loved ones to feel as comfortable as possible. That’s why as their needs evolve, our Home Care evolves too. Because the last thing they need is to get passed around to a different care provider every time their care needs change.
We pride ourselves on being one place where anyone can go for all their Care at Home needs. So if you ever need us to support you in a new way, just let us know.
Being regulated matters
We’re a regulated company. That means, by law, we have to provide all of our staff with all of the training they need to do a great job. It also means we need all the relevant insurance policies should something not go according to plan.
All of which means you can be confident you’re in a safe pair of hands.
Always covered
Sometimes your regular Care Expert might be off sick. Or go away for a week on holiday. And usually, that would be hugely disruptive for you.
But not at Bluebird Care.
That’s because one of the big advantages of using a company, rather than an independent carer, is that we always have someone who can cover for your Care Expert when they’re not around.
So your loved one is always covered too.
