Bariatric Care in Worcester & Wychavon

Living with obesity or complex weight-related conditions can make daily life more physically and emotionally challenging. At Bluebird Care Worcester & Wychavon, our bariatric care services are designed to support individuals who require specialist help at home due to mobility issues, ongoing medical needs, or recovery from surgery.

We work closely with individuals and their families across Worcester, Evesham, Droitwich Spa, Pershore, the North Cotswolds, and surrounding towns and villages. Whether support is needed short-term following a hospital stay, or longer-term to maintain independence and wellbeing, our care teams are here to provide professional and respectful help, without any judgement.

Understanding Bariatric Care

Bariatric care refers to the support provided to individuals who require assistance with daily tasks, mobility, or health-related challenges due to their weight. In some cases, this may follow bariatric surgery, while in others, it’s part of ongoing care for long-term conditions that impact weight and movement.

At Bluebird Care Worcester & Wychavon, we understand that every person’s situation is different. Our aim is to provide care that promotes dignity, reduces health risks, and supports individuals to live safely and comfortably in their own home.

A Personalised, Non-Judgemental Approach

We know that living with obesity can be isolating, and that some people may feel embarrassed to ask for help. That’s why our bariatric care is shaped around trust, compassion, and practicality.

Our care workers are specially trained to support people with reduced mobility or complex care needs, and we take the time to understand each person’s health, goals, and lifestyle. Care is delivered in a way that respects personal routines and preferences whether that means assistance first thing in the morning, overnight support, or a few regular visits each week.

Practical Support for Daily Living

Our bariatric care is designed to reduce the burden and support independence. Services can include:

• Personal care – such as washing, dressing, grooming, and toileting

• Safe mobility – including use of specialist equipment, hoists, or manual handling support

• Meal preparation – tailored to dietary needs or nutritional goals, including post-surgery requirements

• Medication support – helping with timing, prompts, or administration in line with care plans

• Health monitoring – supporting with blood pressure checks, wound care, or liaising with local NHS teams

• Household tasks – such as light cleaning, laundry, or grocery shopping

• Emotional support – building trust and companionship through regular, friendly visits

Everything we do is grounded in helping individuals to maintain their dignity, privacy, and sense of control over daily life.

Working Alongside Health Professionals

Our team works in partnership with GPs, district nurses, bariatric specialists, physiotherapists, and local NHS services across Worcestershire to ensure care is safe, consistent, and aligned with medical guidance.

We’re familiar with care pathways that involve bariatric surgery, diabetes management, and weight-related complications. Whether support is required post-op or as part of long-term lifestyle changes, we provide continuity and reassurance in the home setting.

Equipment, Safety and Accessibility

Providing effective bariatric care often requires the right equipment and a safe, adapted environment. Our care teams are trained in safe manual handling and can work with families and occupational therapists to assess the home setup and ensure it supports mobility and comfort.

This may involve use of wider beds or chairs, specialist hoists, ramps, or mobility aids. If you’re unsure what’s required, we can help guide the process and liaise with the relevant professionals on your behalf.

Why Home Care?

For many people, receiving care at home offers a greater sense of dignity and comfort than residential options. Familiar surroundings, personalised routines, and trusted carers can make a significant difference especially when dealing with health issues that already feel sensitive or stigmatised.

Our customers across Worcester, Evesham, Droitwich Spa, Pershore, and the North Cotswolds often tell us how much they value being in their own space, supported by people who treat them with genuine warmth and respect.

Flexible Care That Adapts With You

Bariatric care needs can change over time. Some of our customers start with short-term support following surgery or a hospital stay, while others receive longer-term care to help manage ongoing conditions and reduce hospital admissions.

We offer flexible options including:

• Visiting care – from 30 minutes to several hours, daily or weekly

• Extended support – several hours per day across key times

• Live-in care – full-time, one-to-one support at home

Care plans are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in mobility, health, or goals, and are always made in close consultation with you and your family.
