HELPING GERALDINE TO MAINTAIN INDPENDENCE AT HOME Geraldine, a 94-year-old lady had been in hospital having suffered a fractured hip as the result of a fall and needed care to help with her mobility and rehabilitation. She had received some care at home following her discharge from hospital with another provider and it was decided that this needed to continue. Geraldine’s daughter contacted us and asked for us to set up a mobility care package to help Geraldine with safe movement, day-to-day tasks, personal care and the administration of Geraldine’s medication. Continuity was very important to Geraldine and this was identified at the assessment stage, due to her increasing level of confusion. A small team of expert carers were identified to best meet Geraldine’s needs. The team spent time building rapport with Geraldine, so she was comforted and reassured about the new arrangement and were more than adequately able to meet her mobility care and support needs. Any concerns were responded to efficiently and effectively by the team of carers and Geraldine’s daughter was very pleased with the care provided and the level of service provide. Geraldine’s daughter said: “I would like to say that I have been very impressed with the efficiency of your company and the professionalism and compassion of your carers. My mother certainly regarded her carers as friends for the last year of her life and her mobility has much improved.” SPECIALIST CARE OF CONDITIONS We have many years of experience in caring for those who are living with a diverse range of conditions and disabilities: Arthritis Brain injury Bariatric care Cancer Cerebral palsy Dementia Diabetes Learning disabilities (including Autism and Down’s) Knee and hip replacement Mobility and frailty issues Motor Neurone Disease Multiple sclerosis (MS) Muscular dystrophy Palliative and end-of-life care Parkinson’s Spina bifida Spinal injury Stroke A TRUSTED AND EXPERT NURSE-LED SERVICE Our hourly care service is nurse-led and our nursing teams provide unrivalled monitoring, supervision and support to our carers to ensure the service we provide is effective and safe, whilst ensuring health outcomes are achieved and an individual has an improved quality of life.

It was so important to him to remain independent and feel socially included, both within his group of friends and family, but also his local community. We spent much time with Richard before putting an hourly care package in place to truly understand how he wanted to be cared for and what was important to him to achieve. Continuity of one main carer with whom he could build a strong relationship with was paramount to him so they could become companions and share time together enjoying hobbies and activities. A care team was perfectly selected to reflect Richard’s wider social needs. It was also critical that the team really understood Richard’s specific dementia, so they completed a specific knowledge-based training programme prior to caring for him. A comprehensive care plan was created that adopted a holistic approach to caring for Richard, with all the social elements that were so important to him, as well as his choices on how he spent his day and preferences on when and where he went out of the house. Richard now enjoys a strong bond with both his carers and has built his confidence in his ability to remain independence despite his condition. They all enjoy many days out doing a variety of different things – including visits to art galleries, Thai Chi classes and trips to see Richard’s friends. Richard’s quality of life has improved considerably since we have cared for him. HOURLY CARE AT HOME OR CARE HOME? We know from experience that families will prefer for their child or loved one to stay in the safety and comfort of their own home instead of moving into a care home or being cared for in a specialist setting. Here we explain the benefits of receiving care at home as opposed to moving away. One-to-one care and support from an established team of the same carers Familiar surroundings provide comfort and reassurance for those living with complex needs You can live life as you wish without having to adhere to a programme of daily routines, which is common in most care homes The family care home can be kept in the family instead of having to sell it to fund care home fees Families have much needed peach of mind with hourly care that their loved one is safe and comfortable in their own home Hourly home care is perfect for couples as it means they can stay together and not be separated. In a care home a couple moving in may be cared for in different parts of the home, and almost certainly they would have separate bedrooms – double rooms are a rarity in residential homes Keep a beloved pet – pets are generally not allowed in care homes or other specialist settings Your home is full of treasured memories that you may not wish to be detached from, as well as possessions you are attached to that it just would not be practical to take into another setting When comparing the cost of hourly care at home to becoming a resident in a care home it is very cost effective EXPERT CARE MANAGEMENT THROUGHOUT OXFORDSHIRE We operate our highly reliable and responsive hourly care at home service throughout Oxfordshire and its surrounding counties, which means you have local care experts near to you to fully manage the service we provide.
