HomeLife Carers

Part of the City and County family, HomeLife Carers provides quality home care. Our range of services throughout the community includes the following:

Respite and temporary care

Respite care from HomeLife Carers is a short-term care solution that enables a carer, who may be a family member, to take a break. We can also provide cover for illness and emergencies. Respite care is defined as care that is provided for two weeks or less, and, as with people using our services longer-term, our care workers can move into the home and provide the full range of care services.

Personal Care

Personal care services can be provided by all care assistants at HomeLife Carers. Such services include help with getting up in the morning, washing, dressing, toileting, bed-making, and assistance with going to bed at night. Our care assistants are trained to promote as much independence as possible while providing support and assistance when needed.

Support for younger people

HLC provides services to younger people who have a wide range of dependency levels and needs, in their own homes, at work, or while in full-time education. These services are tailored to specific needs and often include support with socialising, studying, working, and playing sports.

Medication

Our care assistants are trained to assist with all medicines and can be there to help and prompt you for medication that has been prescribed by your doctor. This is, however, subject to certain restrictions, which will be explained to you and assessed during the development of your care plan.

Personal services

Personal tasks such as preparing shopping lists, doing the shopping, collecting your pension (with your specific permission only), and helping to manage personal affairs such as birthdays and other anniversaries are all tasks that your care assistant is able to carry out with you/for you.

Home help and domestic services

Your care assistant will be able to undertake light domestic chores such as hoovering, dusting, general cleaning, washing up, and personal laundry. Subject to certain limitations, we will also be able to help with light gardening duties.

Preparation of meals

We're on hand to help you prepare your breakfast, your midday meal, your evening meal or supper, and any other refreshments required during the day. If appropriate, your care assistant can also sit with you while you have your meals for companionship purposes.

Sitting services

HomeLife Carers can offer a sitting service, provide other main carers (who may be family members) with a break, or provide companionship for those who may live alone. Clients can also be taken out during such visits to local attractions, visitor centres or any other venues, which would all be fully assessed

Night care

HomeLife Carers offers a nightcare service, which we have segmented into two categories of care. These include an awake service for clients who require constant attention during the night, for which the care assistant won't sleep, and a sleeping service for clients who do not wish to be left alone during the night. Care assistants will be expected to sleep, and a bed should be provided for sleeping services.
