Support for more involved care needs
Some people need a greater level of support to remain comfortable and well cared for at home. This may involve two carers attending together, support using moving and handling equipment, or additional care as someone’s needs change.
Abide Home Care can provide this more involved support while still keeping the person, their routines and their dignity at the centre of their care.
Who Complex Care may help
- People whose care requires two carers to attend together
- People whose support involves hoists, stand aids, Sara Stedy equipment or sliding sheets
- People who need catheter maintenance, palliative care or end-of-life support as part of their care at home
What support may include
Complex Care can be shaped around the individual’s needs, routines and the level of support required at home.
Catheter maintenance
Support with catheter maintenance where this forms part of the person’s agreed care needs.
Double-handed care
Two carers attending together where additional support is required for the person’s care.
Hoist support
Support involving hoists where these form part of the individual’s agreed moving and handling arrangements.
Stand aids & Sara Stedy
Support using appropriate stand aids or Sara Stedy equipment as part of agreed care routines.
Sliding sheets
Use of sliding sheets where required as part of the person’s moving and handling support.
Palliative & end-of-life care
Compassionate care for people receiving palliative or end-of-life support and wishing to remain cared for in familiar surroundings.
More support while remaining at home
More involved care needs do not mean losing the familiarity and independence of home. The right support can help make everyday routines safer and more comfortable while keeping your preferences, dignity and usual way of doing things central to your care.
Abide will take time to understand how you would like to be supported and what matters to you.
Reassurance when care needs become more complex
When a parent or relative begins to need more involved support, it can be difficult to know what level of care is appropriate.
Abide Home Care can talk through the support required and provide clear communication around the care being delivered, helping families feel reassured that their relative is being supported at home.
