Home care
In home care, which is also known as domiciliary care, a service user might need a paid carer for only an hour a week or for several hours a day or a live-in carer.
This arrangement can be temporary (short term) – for example for a few weeks while you recover from an illness, or it can be over a longer period.
When should I consider help at home from a paid carer?
You might want to consider care at home if:
- You’re finding it difficult to cope with daily routines, such as washing, dressing, and getting out and about.
- You do not want to move into a care home.
- You can still get about your home and it’s safe for you to live in – or it can be adapted to make it safe.
How can homecare help me?
A paid carer can visit you at home to help you with all kinds of things including:
- getting out of bed in the morning
- washing and dressing
- brushing your hair
- using the toilet
- preparing meals and drinks
- remembering to take your medication.
- doing your shopping
- collecting prescriptions or your pension
- getting out, for example to a lunch club
- getting you settled in the evening and ready for bed.
Home help
This is slightly different to homecare and means day-to-day domestic tasks that you may need a helping hand with such as:
- cleaning (including putting on clean bed sheets)
- doing the washing up
- doing the laundry
- gardening
