What is homecare?

By Care2Communities | September 23, 2022 | Technology

We believe that every single person, no matter their age, deserves to live happily and safely in the comfort of home. However, as people age, their needs and abilities may change, prompting the need for additional support at home. That’s where we come in. 

We provide flexible home care in Rushcliffe to empower individuals to retain their independence and live a full, active life at home for as long as possible. Read on to learn more about the benefits of home care and how our person-centred approach can improve you or your loved one’s quality of life. 

Our holistic home care services

Our goal is to provide high-quality care that combines the use of assistive technology and personal connection through our dedicated team to enrich wellbeing, improve quality of life, and increase independence. Embodying the values of compassion, kindness, and respect, our trustworthy Wellbeing Assistants are here to help you live well at home – whatever that may look like to you.

With our holistic approach to home care, we put the individual in the centre of everything we do. Our goal is to empower you to retain control over your life and maintain your independence for as long as possible. 

What to expect from our home care

Before we begin, we’ll collaborate with you, your family, any healthcare professionals, and other important people in your life. Together, we’ll  create a responsive plan of support that will best help you thrive. 

Our collaborative approach to homecare uses a mixture of innovative monitoring technology, professional Wellbeing Assistants, and the support of the local community to share the burden of care. By combining virtual and face-to-face support, we strive to reduce digital exclusion, combat loneliness, and encourage connection for everyone. 

In addition, the support we offer is flexible. When life happens and your needs change, we’ll adjust our services accordingly. We’ll also work around your schedules and routines so that we’re truly there for you when you need us. It’s important to us that you feel empowered with choice and control over the support you receive. 

What makes us unique? 

Unlike traditional home care services, our focus is offering subscription packages. Each package includes a certain number of wellbeing calls per week, in-person support hours per month, and the use of Technology Enabled Care to monitor activity and quickly identify any cause for concerns. The subscription model is flexible and allows the individual to use their allocated hours of support as they wish.

With this model, family members can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their loved one’s safety is being non-intrusively monitored 365/24/7 while simultaneously being as much involved in the care provided as they wish. 

The benefits of home care

For many people, home is the place they feel most safe, comfortable, and happy. If given the choice, they would prefer to continue living at home rather than move into residential care in order to receive the extra support they need to live well. Home care makes this possible. 

In addition, home care can be uniquely tailored to a person’s needs, desires, and preferences. We place a big emphasis on getting to know those we care for – their values, hobbies, medical needs, interests, and more – so we can provide care that best promotes connection, self-care, and companionship.
