Home care Hammersmith

Hourly care in Hammersmith

Hourly care in Hammersmith is support provided to someone in the local area at regular times throughout the week. This type of care enables those who need support with household duties, personal care and running errands to do so with extra help from a friendly, professional carer.

Choosing hourly care from The Good Care Group enables you or a loved one to have peace of mind that all of your care needs and preferences have been addressed. We’ll create a personalised care plan that is built around you, so that you can continue doing the things you love doing – from taking a stroll across Hammersmith Bridge with company from an hourly carer, to socialising at local clubs with friends.

Starting from 60-minute visits, our home care team in Hammersmith can assist with care tasks such as household duties, personal care and mobility support – as well as being a friendly face you can rely on for companionship and reassurance. Hourly care can be a great place to start if you’re new to home care and are unsure about exactly what you would like; care visits can be increased as and when you decide to have more support for your specific needs.

Live-in care in Hammersmith

Live-in care from The Good Care Group is a more in-depth type of care where a carer will come and live with you in your home. That way, they are on hand to assist you whenever you require. Live-in care is more suited to those with complex care needs who require specialist support, such as those that have just had a stroke, require palliative care or who are living with a long-term care health condition such as dementia or Parkinson’s.

We believe that care should be delivered in a holistic manner, so that both your physical care and psychological needs are met. Our professional carers in Hammersmith are thoroughly trained to support those living at home with complex conditions and will be carefully matched to you or a loved one in both experience and personality. By taking into consideration both of these elements, you can receive support that enables you to live life to the fullest, with all needs met.

Choosing live-in care in Hammersmith from The Good Care Group means that you’ll have the choice, flexibility and autonomy to make decisions about your everyday care, such as what time you get up in the morning or what you have to eat for your meals. Receiving care in a residential care home often means that these choices are limited, with set meal times and wake up calls for all residents, which may not suit you and your lifestyle. Moving into a care home would also mean leaving pets and loved ones behind, with visiting times in place and limited space to take treasured possessions with you. Live-in care means that you can have all of these things and on your terms.

Better than a care agency in Hammersmith

As a fully-managed home care provider that is inspected by the Care Quality Commission, you and your loved ones can feel safe in the knowledge that you will be receiving a home care service that is regulated by a governing body and delivered by carers who are employed by us. Some care agencies are not regulated by the CQC and require carers to be self-employed, meaning they are not regularly inspected and rely on carers to manage their own training and time. In contrast, we employ every single one of our carers, train them to a standard that exceeds industry expectations and will also make sure you have another carer should they be absent, as well as taking care of all of their paperwork and making them feel part of our welcoming company culture.

Dementia care in Hammersmith from our dedicated team

With nearly one million people living with dementia in the UK, it is more important than ever that we are able to support individuals to live well at home with dementia. That’s why we ensure that all of our carers receive detailed dementia training as part of their mandatory induction programme with us, as well as specialist dementia training overseen by our in-house dementia expert, Dr Jane Pritchard, who is a Consultant Admiral Nurse.

Dementia home care from our Hammersmith team is an ideal alternative to moving into a care home, as it allows you to be surrounded by your home comforts and removes any upheaval that may occur when moving into a care home. Dementia affects everyone living with the condition very differently, but what is common across all types of dementia is how it affects behaviour, which can be worsened if leaving areas of familiarity. With dementia care from The Good Care Group, you or your loved one can continue living at home, surrounded by the familiar sights and sounds they are accustomed to, as well as living with a partner, spouse or pet.

For those in the later stages of their diagnosis, we can also provide palliative care at home specific for those with dementia. As well as delivering bespoke support for symptoms and behaviours that may increase in intensity, the care team in Hammersmith will be on hand to work with all involved in an individual’s care plan so that everyone gets the support they need – from the person with dementia and respecting their wishes, to their family and loved ones who may be struggling to come to terms with the reality of the situation.

Respite care in Hammersmith for a short-term care solution

If you’re a full-time carer for a family member or friend who lives in Hammersmith, you may want to consider respite care to give yourself a well-earned break. Taking some time away from what can be quite draining on you both physically and emotionally can really help with your regular care routine for both of you. It not only allows you to recharge your batteries, but enables your loved one to have someone else to converse with and bring variety to their life.

Respite care from our Hammersmith team can also be provided on an interim basis following a discharge from hospital. You may need support with your mobility following a fall or stroke, or you may just need an extra pair of hands around your home whilst you’re recovering. Our fully-trained carers, alongside support from our in-house occupational therapist, can ensure you get the right level of care for your needs so that you have a speedy and comfortable recovery at home.
