🏡 What is Home Care?

At Gifted Hands Home Care, we understand that there’s no place like home—especially when it comes to receiving the care and support you need. Home care allows individuals to receive professional, compassionate support in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, while maintaining independence and dignity.

💡 Understanding Home Care

Home care is a flexible and personalised service designed to assist individuals who may need help with daily living tasks, recovery, long-term conditions, or simply wish to age in place. Care is delivered by trained carers who visit you regularly or stay with you depending on your needs.

🧩 Types of Home Care Services We Offer

1. Visiting Care

Also known as domiciliary care, this service involves carers visiting you at home for scheduled appointments—ranging from 30-minute calls to several hours per day.

• What it includes: Personal care (washing, dressing), medication support, meal preparation, mobility assistance, companionship, and more.
• Who it’s for: Ideal for individuals who need help at specific times of day but do not require round-the-clock support.

2. Live-in Care

A dedicated carer lives in your home to provide 24-hour support.

• What it includes: Everything in visiting care, plus overnight supervision, emotional support, and peace of mind for families.
• Who it’s for: Best for people with complex needs, frailty, or those who prefer to remain at home instead of moving into residential care.

3. Overnight Care

Night-time support provided by a carer who stays through the night, either asleep (sleep-in) or awake (waking nights), depending on your requirements.

• Who it’s for: Individuals who may need help with toileting, medication, reassurance, or assistance during the night.

4. Respite Care

Temporary care designed to give family carers a break or support someone recovering from illness or surgery.

• Who it’s for: Perfect for short-term needs or when the regular carer is unavailable.

5. Specialist Care

We also offer support for specific health conditions such as:

• Dementia Care
• Palliative and End-of-Life Care
• Stroke and Neurological Conditions
• Physical Disabilities and Long-Term Illnesses

Each plan is carefully tailored to the individual’s needs, preferences, and lifestyle.
