Home Care is care carried out in an older adult’s own home, rather than in another setting like a hospital, assisted living facility, care home or nursing home. If the person needs specific medical care it may be recommended that they move to one of these facilities, but most types of care – including complex care, dementia care, palliative careand more – can take place in the home. Home carers can assist with daily living activities in a safe manner while the older person remains in the comfort and familiarity of their own home where they can retain some or most of their independence. Care Professionals can help with tasks such as:

• Personal care (such as getting to the bathroom and getting dressed
• Helping clients get to the bathroom during the night
• Providing medication reminders, and administering this if relevant
• Encouraging the person to eat nutritious meals
• Providing meal preparation and cooking, while adhering to any dietary requirements
• Helping with regular housework and other chores
• Helping clients with mobility issues to move around safely in the home
• Driving clients to weekly appointments
• Offering regular companionship and observing their mental health
• Organising enjoyable and stimulating activities for the client

The home environment is a key part of maintaining dignity in care for older adults, more so than other settings. Studies have found those receiving care in other settings, such as a hospital, experienced mild to severe loss of dignity.For this reason, helping an older adult to remain in their own home could drastically improve their care experience.

There’s nothing more powerful than the ability to change somebody’s life for the better every day, whether that’s simply keeping them company, or offering more advanced personal or dementia care. And we’ll give you all the training you need to confidently make the role your own. As a Care Professional, you can make a world of difference to people’s lives the minute you step through your client’s door, helping them to live independently, at home, with exceptional care. So if you just can’t help but care, you’ll find your role at Home Instead.
