ABOUT THIS SERVICE

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.

FOR THE PERSON RECEIVING CARE

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.

FOR RELATIVES

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.
