Elderly care at home
As we get older, many factors can make it difficult for us to live as independently as once we did. Whether it’s due to a health condition, mobility concerns or loneliness, with elderly care from The Good Care Group you can continue living in the comfort of home whilst receiving all the support you need to live an independent and fulfilling life.
The Good Care Group is one of the UK’s leading providers of elderly care at home. For over 10 years, we have provided one-to-one care designed to keep people living safely and happily in the comfort and familiarity of home, whilst improving their overall health and well-being.
Our elderly care is personalised to you and tailored to your needs so that you’re always receiving care that promotes independence and enhances your quality of life. Whether you need assistance just for a few hours a week or round-the-clock live-in care, families across the country know they can trust to provide one simple thing: care without compromise.
What is elderly care at home?
Elderly care at home can be anything from short visits for an hour a day for some support with cooking, dressing and domestic tasks, right through to our award-winning live-in care.
The Good Care Group offers a fully managed and regulated elderly care at home service provided by expertly trained carers. Our elderly care is managed and supervised by a team of knowledgeable clinicians that bring with them extensive clinical skills and years of experience.
Our elderly care can be provided on a permanent basis or as a respite care service, which is a short-term arrangement that affords a family carer a break whilst their parents or loved one receives high-quality, personalised care at home.
Our carers will work closely with you, your family, your health care team and other community professionals to provide a holistic approach to care that meets all your practical, physical and emotional needs. This care is always provided on a one-to-one basis, something that is difficult to achieve in other clinical or residential settings.
What’s included in our elderly care service?
We know how important it is for people to retain choice and control in life, particularly if they have lived many years independently. Our professional carers can provide a range of services in your home to help you live life on your terms whilst improving health outcomes and quality of life:
Safe mobility around your home
We have an in-house Occupational Therapist, Jackie Cooper, who provides guidance and expert advice as to how to improve safe movement and mobility around your home, whilst minimising falls.
Medication management
Our carers are trained in medication management and use an innovative tracking eMAR system to ensure all medications are managed proactively and effectively. This can help improve health outcomes, reduce pain, manage symptoms and prevent dangerous medication interactions.
Sensitive personal care
Our professional carers can provide discreet and sensitive support with bathing, toileting, grooming and other personal care tasks so that you are always looking and feeling your best.
Planning and cooking meals
Meals can be planned and cooked according to your choice and nutritional needs, all served at a time that suits you. If you enjoy cooking or baking as a pastime, our carers will encourage you to be as active as you wish to be.
Domestic tasks
Our carers will take on any household duty for you so that your home is kept to the high standards you expect. This can include everything from dusting, washing up, and ironing to running errands or picking up medication.
Companionship as and when you need it
Our carers will provide companionship whilst ensuring your privacy is respected. You will be well-matched with a carer who shares similar values and interests to make life more interesting, stimulating and enjoyable.
What are the benefits of elderly care at home?
We believe there’s no place like home to receive the specialist care and support you need. Here are just some of the life-changing benefits of receiving elderly care in your own home:
Bespoke care and support
Our elderly home care is guided by you and how you wish to live your life. We tailor the care we provide to your goals, wishes and personal preferences so you always receive care that meets all your needs. Your carer truly gets to know you and provides care on a one-to-one basis, something that is difficult to achieve in other care settings.
A personalised plan of care
We will work closely with you and your healthcare team to create a bespoke plan of support based on your care needs and preferences. Our carers are there to help you live life on your terms, and that includes maintaining all the hobbies, interests and activities you love.
Stay in the home you love
Our specialist elderly care delivered by experienced carers allows you to stay in the comfort and familiarity of home whilst receiving the support you need. Staying in the home and community you love has far-reaching benefits for not just physical and emotional health, but overall well-being and quality of life.
Enjoy continuity of care
Unlike agencies, we directly employ our carers. Our dedicated carers enjoy the security of being employed, which means they stay with us longer. This allows your carer the time to really get to know you and form a trusting relationship – whilst families enjoy the continuity and consistency of having the same care team looking after their loved ones.
Meet our experts
We have a dedicated team of in-house clinical experts. This includes our own in-house Occupational Therapist (OT) Jackie Cooper, who works closely with health care professionals and our care teams. Our OT provides guidance and advice that enables people to live well in their own home with any equipment they may need. These experts lead, monitor and support our care teams to deliver best practice elderly care at home.
Our elderly care is led by nursing specialists including our own in-house Consultant Admiral Nurse, Dr Jane Pritchard. Jane has a wealth of nursing expertise having been a dementia care nurse for nearly 20 years. She provides clinical insight, assessments, home visit consultations and liaison with medical professionals to those receiving our elderly home care service. She is also a source of much-needed emotional support to our families during what can be a difficult time.
