Home care Glasgow

Better than a care agency in Glasgow

The Good Care Group is a fully-managed home care provider, which means we adhere to the stringent guidelines set by the Care Quality Commission and are regularly inspected. Unlike care agencies in Glasgow, we directly employ and train all of our carers ourselves, which means we are able to cover your regular carer on the rare occasion they should be absent, and provide them all with high-quality training. We are also able to take care of their paperwork, Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) checks and provide them with company benefits – something which they would have to do themselves if they were self-employed by a care agency.

Specialist dementia care in Glasgow

Over 900,000 people are currently living with dementia, but not one of those diagnoses present in exactly the same way for each person. Here at The Good Care Group, we understand the nuances between dementia in each individual. That’s why our care plans are completely tailored to the individual and promote and nurture independence.

Receiving dementia care at home is a viable, often more suitable, alternative to moving into a care home, as it allows you or your loved one to get a personalised care plan that takes into account all of your symptoms, medical requirements and personal preferences whilst reducing the stress that would come with leaving the comforts and familiarity of your own home. Whether you or a loved one have just been diagnosed with vascular dementia and are coming to terms with what this will mean for all of you, or if your loved one has advanced Alzheimer’s and needs daily assistance with personal care, our Glasgow team can provide you with the reassurance that you and your loved ones need to continue living in your own home.

The Good Care Group are specialists in dementia home care, which is overseen by our resident Consultant Admiral Nurse, Jane Pritchard. As well as having Jane’s guidance and expertise, all of our carers receive specialist dementia training that takes them through the different types of dementia, how symptoms may present and ways in which to care for individuals living with the condition.

Short-term respite care in Glasgow

The need for care can arise at any given time – perhaps after a hospital admission and you need extra support at home during your recovery, or if you care for a loved one and need to take an unexpected leave of absence. With respite care from our experienced team in Glasgow, we can step in and provide high-quality care on a short-term basis so that you’re not left without vital assistance when you need it most.

Respite care in Glasgow can be delivered in a way that suits you and your care requirements via either hourly care or live-in care on a pre-planned basis. That way, if you’re a caregiver for a loved one, our professional carers can fill in for you while you take a few hours off each week and recharge your batteries or even for several weeks if you decide to take a longer break from your care duties.
