Understand the different types of Home Care- What is right for your loved one?

Homecare can consist of many forms, but the vital underpinning protocols that must be included are; to encourage independence, ensure dignity, and respect both the person and their home.

Here at Bluebird Care, we offer anything from light housekeeping, right up to full personal care, including live-in care. The support given can include a huge number of tasks, including assisting with showers/baths, laundry, vacuuming/dusting, meal preparation, shopping, companionship, and medication management.

As we get older, our abilities can change both due to age and potential illness, but in all cases, our homes remain important to us, and remaining in a familiar environment contributes to improving our mental and physical health, which in turn can also maintain our feelings of self-worth.

It can be daunting looking for and researching care for a loved one or yourself. Knowing what is right in terms of how often and at what level will suit you. But that is okay, we are here to help you. Our trained staff can answer any questions you have and use their experience to help advise and guide you. We also understand that things change, so if the care plan needs adapting as time goes on, we can add more calls or make a package live-in to accommodate the needs of the customer.

All in all, it is beneficial to remain at home with support in place to ensure that the person feels valued, and this can continue right up until the end of their life journey and will be adapted throughout.
