Many people hear the words “home care” and are not quite sure what it really involves. Is it only washing and dressing? Do carers help around the house? Can they offer companionship as well?
This guide lifts the lid on what in-home care with Rehoboth Haven can include, so you know what to expect and what you can ask for.
Personal Care with Dignity
Personal care is at the heart of what we do. This may include:
- Help with washing, showering or bathing
- Support with getting dressed and undressed
- Assistance with toileting and continence care
- Oral care and grooming
💙 Our approach: Our carers work gently and respectfully, always explaining what they are doing and allowing the person to stay in control as much as possible.
Medication Support
Managing tablets and prescriptions can easily become confusing, especially when someone is tired or unwell. Our carers can:
- Give prompts and reminders at the right times
- Assist with eye drops, creams and other prescribed items
- Record what has been taken so families can see at a glance
This brings peace of mind and reduces the risk of missed doses.
Companionship and Emotional Support
Care is not only physical. So many families tell us that companionship has been the biggest blessing.
Companionship might look like:
- Sharing a cup of tea and a chat
- Playing cards, board games or doing a jigsaw
- Reading the newspaper together or looking through old photos
- Going for a gentle walk
💚 The power of connection: Human connection is a powerful part of wellbeing, especially for those who live alone.
Help Around the Home
A tidy, safe home can make everyday life feel easier. Depending on the care plan, our carers can help with:
- Light housework such as washing up and tidying surfaces
- Simple laundry and bed changes
- Meal preparation, from breakfast to simple home-cooked dishes
- Shopping trips or putting away deliveries
Specialist Care, Such as Dementia Support
In-home care can also include more specialised support, for example, dementia care, mobility assistance and respite for family carers. Everything is tailored around the person and agreed in advance in a clear care plan.
