Before we assign a carer, we carry out a comprehensive assessment of the care recipient's needs and preferences. We then carefully select a carer who has the appropriate skills and experience and who is the right match for the care recipient in terms of personality and interests.
This ensures that the care recipient receives the best possible care and support from someone they can trust and feel comfortable with.
Our carers undergo rigorous training in manual handling, health and safety, and infection control to help minimise the risk of accidents and injuries. We also provide our carers with personal protective equipment and follow strict infection control protocols to ensure their safety.
For care recipients, we undertake a comprehensive risk assessment of their home environment to identify any potential hazards and take steps to minimise them.
We offer care on a short-term or long-term basis, depending on the individual's needs. Our care services can also be adjusted and adapted as the care recipient's needs change.
We provide a free, no-obligation consultation to identify a care recipient's needs and preferences and provide a personalised quote for our live in care services.
Our emergency live in care services are designed to provide quick and effective support to ensure the safety and wellbeing of care recipients.
