ELDERLY CARE

Our trained carers aim to care and support each individual client  aged 65+ to gain or maintain a level of  independence to access and participate in activities within the community to maintain social contact in so far as is permissible given their changing needs or disability.

WE RECOGNISE THAT EVERY PERSON IS UNIQUE SO BEFORE OUR SERVICE BEGINS; WE WILL SPEND TIME GETTING TO KNOW INDIVIDUAL NEEDS, WISHES AND FEELINGS:

  • Preferred communication methods

  • Identify individual needs, feelings and wishes

  • Individual likes and dislikes

  • Individual values

We take a holistic approach ensuring that every elderly person is supported with their health and social care needs and reaching their potential.

PERSON-CENTRED TAILOR-MADE PACKAGES THAT MEET INDIVIDUALS’ SPECIFIC NEEDS

We provide excellent seamless individualised tailor-made person-centred care that is responsive to changing needs; enhancing the health and well-being of clients to a high standard that promotes a healthy lifestyle, choice and independence. We aim to build trusting and caring relationships with the client and their families

 

Our trained care team have practical experience in providing personal care and support for clients living with physical health disabilities, Learning disabilities, behaviour that challenges, Dementia and other mental health difficulties. 

 

Our organisation understands that every person is different, and that everyone has their own individual needs and interests. This is why we plan our care according to each individual needs identified on assessment, helping them to flourish in an environment that is suitable for them. When your referral is made to our service we will visit you in your own home to carry out a risk and care needs assessment collaboratively with your care manager , nominated family member or advocate, and develop a safe, effective and flexible care plan.Our organisation will also work in collaboratively with your GP and other health and social care professionals who may be involved in your care to ensure a seamless and safe provision of care. Risk and care plan reviews are ongoing and care is tailored to meet the changing needs.
