Our Home Care Services

Companionship may include someone visiting you for a chat, taking you out into the community to do an activity of your choice or a range of housework, cooking or cleaning. As our staff are specially trained to care for people with a variety of needs; they can provide respite the spouse of a person with dementia; allowing them to go out of the house for a break or to see to an urgent task, while we stay with their loved one.

It isn’t just attentive, personal home care services that our dedicated staff can provide – our carers can support our clients with keeping on top of household chores on a regular or ad-hoc basis. Whether it’s dusting, hoovering, laundry and ironing, changing bed linen or cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, our carers are flexible and can support with any tasks that you may need help with.

If you require any help with your shopping or need assistance in the upkeep of your appointments, Gabriel’s Angels can offer the services you need. We can help on a regular or ad-hoc basis – whether you simply require us to pop to the local shop for a few items, to do a large shop from the supermarket or need a chaperone to attend any appointments you need to keep. We can even help you to write a shopping list, plan a menu or prepare meals after the shopping too.

Retaining independence is important (especially as the years go by) but often, people may need a little help with their daily home personal care – we can provide this. Our carers can support with personal tasks such as showering, bathing, shaving, getting dressed, assisting with toileting, medication management, applying creams (or anything else), all in the comfort of your own home.

We understand that it can be difficult to care for a loved one who is battling a life-limiting illness so, at Gabriel’s Angels, we have a dedicated specialist Palliative Care team who are able to step in and offer support. We work closely within a multidisciplinary team of GP/District Nurses/Pain Specialist/Macmillan Nurses to ensure your loved ones every need is met at home. Together with you, your family and health professionals, we can create a person-centred care plan which will regularly be updated to ensure all your requirements are met.

All of our carers have received in-depth beyond-requirement training to support people with dementia; from the early stages of memory loss, right through to the advanced stages of all types of dementia. Our personalised care plans have been designed around helping people with memory loss to accept having home care visits. They are written together with the client and their loved ones; gathering memories and understanding how they like to have things done and what they like to do.

Occasions may arise where immediate care is required due to an emergency for yourself or a family member. Our 24/7 Emergency home care service provides a one-to-one service; always ready to offer support when required. This usually consists of one carer during the day and a different carer during the night, with the service able to be rolled out at short notice, either on a temporary or long-term basis.

Gabriel’s Angels can provide one-to-one, round-the-clock live-in care to clients, offering them the option of staying in comfortable and familiar surroundings while receiving expert assistance and care when needed. Whether it’s washing and dressing, getting out of bed, food preparation or cooking, shopping, housework, collecting medications (or any other daily tasks you may have trouble with), we are here to help. We will get to know your preferences and daily routines, tailoring your care plan to your specific needs.
