Bariatric care is all about supporting people with extreme obesity. It’s a long-term approach focused on helping you make healthy lifestyle changes—without judgment, without quick fixes. We’re here to offer guidance, support, and practical help so that you can live with dignity and confidence.

Obesity is something many people face, and it can affect your health in many ways, like:

  • Making it harder to move around or take care of yourself
  • Increasing the chances of skin infections
  • Bringing feelings of low self-esteem or depression

But with the right care, these challenges can be managed. Bariatric care is designed to meet your individual needs, helping you live more comfortably and take steps towards a healthier future.

We focus on you. Our approach is all about listening and understanding what works best for you, so we can tailor a care plan that feels right. Whether you need help following surgery or ongoing support, we’re here for you.

  • Household support: Whether it’s cleaning, shopping, or laundry, we’re happy to lend a hand.
  • Medication management: We’ll help ensure you’re taking your medication as prescribed, so you stay on track.

Before we start, our care team will come to your home to complete a risk assessment and create a personalised care plan. This way, we can make sure everything runs smoothly and safely for both you and our team.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about Bariatric care

Bariatric care is an umbrella term for a range of services designed to support people with extreme obesity, sometimes referred to as morbid obesity. Due to the diverse nature of obesity, bariatric care plans vary from person to person but typically include support with preparing healthy meals designed to support goals, personal care (i.e. help washing and dressing), helping with household chores, and medication management.
Bariatric surgery, sometimes known as weight-loss surgery or metabolic surgery, is a type of surgery intended to alter your digestive system to support weight loss. Typically only conducted when traditional methods (i.e. diet and exercise) haven’t been successful, bariatric surgery can involve a gastric bypass to make your stomach smaller and limit nutrient absorption, or the insertion of a gastric band to reduce stomach capacity.
Bariatric care is a flexible, person-focused type of support where you’ll receive regular visits from a care professional, who’ll work with you towards weight-loss goals and support with everyday tasks post-surgery. With bariatric care, you’ll receive a bespoke care plan, designed with your goals in mind. This may include specialised diet plans, help to stay active, meal preparation, and emotional support. Bariatric care can also offer post-surgery support if required.
Bariatric care offers both physical and emotional benefits, including increased independence, boosts to self-esteem, improved cardiovascular health, and a lower risk of developing further complications, such as strokes and heart attacks. It’s a compassionate, non-judgmental type of care that’s designed with dignity and empowerment in mind, helping you steadily work toward your weight loss goals.
Extreme obesity is a challenging condition, with many potential complications. A bariatric care plan offers tailored support, considering your unique needs, meaning you’ll receive the right type of support as you work towards your goals. Weight loss is a complicated issue, and what works for one person may not work for another, so it’s important that you’re receiving care that takes into account your unique situation.
