Home Care
With Help at Home Care, the important thing is to reach out for support as soon as you feel you may need some assistance. Our friendly team are very experienced and will be able to point you in the right direction about the personalised support packages we can offer. Care at home is essential for a variety of reasons, providing individuals with the support they need while maintaining the comfort, independence and familiarity of their own environment.
You may need support with getting your shopping, making meals or personal care, such as washing and dressing. You may need help with medication or a helping hand with your correspondence and bills. All these can be delivered via Home Care.
Care is often considered only for older people, but this can be an invaluable resource for people who have other needs such as physical disabilities and mental health support needs. All of our staff are highly trained in learning and physical disabilities and mental health.
Why is home care needed?
1. Promotes Independence
Home care allows individuals—especially the elderly, those recovering from illness, or people with disabilities—to maintain a sense of autonomy. They can continue living in their own homes while receiving assistance with daily activities like dressing, bathing, meal preparation and medication management.
2. Comfort and Familiarity
For many people, the home represents a space filled with cherished memories, familiar routines and comfort. Being in this environment can significantly boost emotional well-being, especially for the elderly or those facing long-term illness. Staying at home provides a sense of security and control that can contribute to better mental health.
3. Personalised Care
Care at home is highly customizable to each person’s needs. Whether it’s regular companionship, specialised medical care, or help with household chores, in-home support workers offer tailored support, unlike institutional settings that often have standard procedures and routines.
4. Cost-Effective
Compared to residential care facilities like nursing homes or assisted living, home care can be a more affordable option. Many people only need part-time help or occasional visits from support workers, making it a more flexible and budget-friendly solution.
5. Emotional and Social Support
Home care provides not just physical assistance, but emotional and social support as well. Loneliness can be a serious issue, particularly for elderly individuals. A home support worker provides companionship, preventing isolation and promoting overall well-being.
6. Peace of Mind for Families
Knowing that their loved ones are receiving professional, compassionate care in the comfort of their home, provides peace of mind for family members. Home care ensures that individuals are safe, supported and well taken care of without needing to leave the home.
Our packages
An example package with Blueberry Hill could be up to 4 calls per day, dependant on your needs.
4 calls per day can include:
- Morning call – Getting up and washed and dressed in the morning and preparing breakfast.
- Lunchtime call – Support with preparing lunch, going to the toilet, prompting medication.
- Afternoon or Evening Call – Support with an evening meal, going to the toilet, prompting medication.
- Night Call – Support to get ready and ensure you are comfortable in bed.
The above is just an example of what a day of Help at Home could look like. In reality, all of our customers have quite different care packages and needs and all support is personalised to the customer. Some of our customers have 4 visits per day and some have as little as one visit per week.
Blueberry Hill Care is a small and stable team so you will be able to get to know the staff that will be supporting you.
