Preparing for Home Care

Preparing for Home Care


We know that care can sometimes be a challenging topic of conversation and it’s important to be sure that you’re making the right decision for yourself or a loved one. In our guides we aim to use our experience in providing care to help to simplify the complex world of care and provide you with all of the information you need.

What is Home Care?

Whilst many people are more familiar with the concept of residential care, where a person will leave their home to live in a residence with others also needing care, home care works quite differently.

A person receiving home care, or domiciliary care, will have a Carer come and visit them in their own home to provide services like; basic care, domestic tasks, medication management, meal preparation and a whole host of other tasks to support someone to live independently at home. Home care allows those receiving care to remain in familiar surroundings whilst giving family and friends peace of mind for their well-being.

The sort of Home Care we offer   put’s you in control of your services, and with our experience, expertise and variety of options available, we can plan the support and care exactly the way you would like it.  Furthermore, adjusting your requirements going forward couldn’t be simpler; using our   Digital Care Planning   technology and our  ‘ Live Team ’,  you can make instant adjustments using your computer, or if you prefer the telephone. This way you can be confident of a responsive and evolving service meeting the   outcomes   you want, from the personal care you receive.
If living independently at home is something you want to try and achieve, Premier Community ’s award winning services are at hand to help, 24 hours a day.

Preparing for home care

Whilst it can be a difficult process to start home care, talking it through and helping those involved to understand why receiving care is a positive step forward for yourself or the person who needs help. If you’re still introducing the idea of care at home to someone, our article on the Care Conversations, details some great ways to approach a discussion in a helpful and understanding way. 

Whilst it’s important to not put if off, concern for the person requiring care can lead the process to be rushed which can lead to decisions made based on strong emotions. 

We believe that care at home can help to prevent deterioration in condition as well as preventing accidents and loneliness. Continued care services can help to keep and monitor someones condition, and  better identify any changes in behaviour, appetite or mobility.
