In short anybody can access home care
services! It does not normally require NHS assessment or to be recommended or
ordered by a GP. It is all about whatever the need of the individual may or
what family members may want on the individual’s behalf.
The need for home care services can differ
quite considerably – it can range from those needing company to ward off
loneliness, needing shopping, cooking etc and other basic household work,
providing respite care support for family members, recovery from a hospital
stay - right through to more involved specialist care such as dementia, other
mental health problems or physical/mobility issues.
The most important point to emphasise is
that we can provide the right care package matched to the level of care needed
and the most suitable carer in terms of training and experience to provide that
care.
