Home care services

What home care services do we provide?

We provide a range of highly personalised home care services, including 24-hour, live-in care, day care (in London only) and a respite care service for family carers who require a much-needed break from caring for a loved one.

Here is a brief overview of the types of home care we provide:

• Live-in care: One of our professional and compassionate carers will come and live with you in your home to provide you with round-the-clock care, companionship and support. Our live-in care is focused on helping you maintain independence, choice and dignity whilst living a purposeful and meaningful life.
• Hourly care: Hourly home care is provided to people living in their own homes who require additional support with day-to-day life. An hourly carer will visit you at home throughout the week to provide you with the assistance you need, when you need it. Our service is flexible so you can have as many hours as you require to make sure you have the support you require.
• Overnight care: For many individuals with care and support needs, being left alone throughout the night can be challenging. Our sleeping night care and waking night care services are available to ensure you or your loved one enjoys a good night’s rest whilst receiving the dedicated support needed.
• Respite care: Respite care is a short and flexible arrangement that allows for a person to be cared for in the comfort and familiarity of their own home by a professional carer. This gives family carers the opportunity to enjoy a break and recharge their batteries.
• Complex care: Complex care is a form of expert specialist care provided to individuals with substantial and ongoing healthcare needs as a result of chronic illness, disabilities or following hospital treatment. Our high quality, compassionate service ensures an individual is able to live a fulfilling life and maintain their lifestyle choices, regardless of any medical condition.

Better than a home care agency

The Good Care Group is not a care agency; we employ and train all of our professional carers so that they meet the exceptional standards that we set across all of our home care services. This ensures continuity of care for our clients and also carers that are loyal to us and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure that clients are looked after in the best way possible.

Being a fully-managed care provider also means that we have a pool of highly-trained carers available to step in at a moment’s notice if your regular care becomes unwell or needs to take a leave of absence. Choosing a home care agency would mean that you would need to arrange for any carer absences yourself, which can create more stress and worry for an individual and their loved ones.

When should I consider home care?

Home care should be considered any time someone requires extra care or support to continue living life independently and on their own terms.Scenarios may include:

• Trouble keeping up with usual personal care routines such as getting dressed or bathing
• Finding it difficult to prepare meals
• Nutritional needs are not being met due to problems with eating
• Assistance is required with mobility or regular falls are occurring
• Medications are sometimes missed or forgotten
• Tasks around the home are being ignored or present too much difficulty
• Living with memory loss or confusion
• Companionship or emotional support may be beneficial
• Struggles to access the community
