The Domiciliary Care at Home Care Manchester is developed to meet the needs of individuals who desire to remain in the comfort of their homes and receive the assistance of helpers who are reliable and compassionate at the same time and assist them with daily chores. There comes a point in life when people find that activities that were previously easy to perform like washing, dressing, cooking or moving around the house are no longer that simple. In the case of families, being a caregiver may assume even greater tasks, particularly in cases of work, children, and day-to-day tasks. Our domiciliary care service intervenes to offer kind, non-judgmental assistance that makes people not feel that they are losing control of their everyday life.
We start the personal acquaintance. They are all different: some just need assistance with morning routine, others need to be visited regularly during the day to feel safe, healthy, and comfortable. In the first evaluation we pay attention to what the person struggles with, what they appreciate most and what practices make them feel relaxed. This can enable us to make a plan that would assist them without usurping the things they are still able to do comfortably. We always strive to promote self-reliance in situations where it is practicable and offer support in cases where necessary.
We can also use the help of our caregivers in personal care activities that include bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, skin care, and moving around the house. These are delicate times that need tact and tolerance and our team is trained to provide assistance in a manner that safeguards self-respect and establishes trust. We know that it is a big step to invite a person to your personal space, this is why we are pairing clients with carers that are warm, respectful, and capable of building soft reassuring relationships.
In addition to personal care, we also assist in domestic chores that are used to provide a clean and safe environment to live in. This may involve cooking, washing utensils, doing minor chores, laundry, swapping beddings and general tidying around the house. To the caregivers who might forget to take medication or have a complicated schedule, they can be reminded to take it and assist with the correct dosages. Such little things will greatly help in improving health, wellbeing, and peace of mind to both the individual and family.
Companionship is considered one of the most important things about domiciliary care. A significant number of those whom we help are staying alone or working long hours without any socialization. An hourly visit by a carer is not only a useful intervention but also an hour of communication, support and bonding. Having a cup of tea together, discussing the hobbies, reading, or just having a moment of silence, companionship can be used to alleviate isolation and aid emotional health.
Our service is based on flexibility. Other people need to have brief morning calls so that they could begin the day in a comfortable manner. Some of them might require lunchtime support, evening support, or multiple visits throughout the day. As needs vary, either temporarily (when we are sick) or over time, we would manipulate the schedule so that the support would be appropriate and consistent.
Domiciliary care is not merely a service at the Home Care Manchester. It is a relationship that is founded on perception, confidence and esteem. Our mission is to make life easier, safer and enjoyable so that people can keep living in the place that they call home.
