Eight kinds of home care, one local team
Every service below is delivered by our own trained care workers and managed from our Godalming office.
Dementia Care
Dementia is a broad term used to describe an array of progressive disorders affecting the brain. There are over 200 subtypes of dementia.
The most common are: Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal dementia. Some people may have a combination of dementia types commonly called ‘mixed dementia’.
All Carers at Home's carers are trained to understand the different stages of living with, and caring for, someone with dementia as part of their induction and ongoing training
Important aspects of home care for dementia sufferers are
-
Consistent company,
-
Stable routines,
-
Daily exercise for the mind and body,
-
A familiar home environment

Reablement care
Reablement care is a short term home care solution to help reintegrate a client back into their own home after a short stay in hospital following an accident or illness.
The aim of the home care is to assist the client to regain their independence. Prior to being discharged from hospital one of our senior care team will visit the client in hospital and prepare a thorough care plan.
Personal care
Personal care is supporting an individual that requires a level of assistance with both their personal and private hygiene. This includes toileting, along with dressing and maintaining their personal appearance.
We believe the most important aspect of personal care is ensuring that the client maintains their dignity at all times. We will always ensure that the gender of the care worker providing this care is the clients choice.
Physical disability
Whatever your disability, be it as a result of an accident, or due to illness (such as MS, Parkinsons, motor neurone, or stroke) we can help you live a fulfilling life.
We understand that your needs will vary depending on the severity of your disability. Our carers will assist you professionally yet discreetly, in a way that allows you to maintain your dignity.
End of life (Palliative Care)
End of life home care, also known as palliative care, is providing support to those that are in the final stages of their life. The idea behind end of life care is to make the last weeks as comfortable and dignified as possible.
We will always follow the wishes of the client and work alongside the family to make the time as peaceful as possible.
Sensory impairment
The most common forms of sensory impairment involves the loss of sight and or hearing. Sensory impairment can lead to clients potentially becoming isolated and frustrated. This can lead to mental health conditions.
Our carers are trained in how to communicate with people with sensory impairments and to help them feel safe and secure in their environment.
