Frequently Asked Questions

What is home care?

Home care is a service where trained caregivers assist individuals in their homes, helping with daily activities such as personal care, housekeeping, medication management, and companionship. It allows individuals to remain in the comfort of their own homes while receiving the support they need.

How do I know if home care is right for my loved one?

Home care is ideal for individuals who need help with daily tasks but prefer to stay in the comfort of their own homes. If your loved one struggles with mobility, requires assistance with personal care or needs companionship, home care can provide a safe and supportive solution. We offer free consultations to help assess your loved one’s needs and determine the best care plan.

Is home care affordable?

We are committed to providing affordable care options tailored to your needs and budget. We offer flexible care packages and are happy to discuss funding options such as local authority funding, personal health budgets, or private pay to ensure you can access the care your loved one needs at an affordable cost.

What types of care do you provide?

We offer a wide range of services, including:

  • Personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming)
  • Medication management
  • Nursing care
  • Companionship
  • Meal preparation
  • Help with daily tasks (housework, shopping, etc.)
  • Live-in care for those who need 24/7 support
  • End-of-life care
  • Specialised Care (Dementia, Disability etc.)

How do I choose the right care plan for my loved one?

We work closely with you and your family to create a personalised care plan that meets the specific needs of your loved one. We consider factors such as the level of support required, preferred caregivers, medical needs, and budget. Our team guides you through the process and ensures the care plan aligns with your loved one's needs.

Are your caregivers trained and experienced?

Our caregivers are highly trained and experienced in providing compassionate, professional care. We ensure they undergo rigorous background checks, regular training, and continuous education to provide our clients with the highest standard of care.

All staff must pass our demanding training program before qualifying to work for the organisation.

How do you handle medication management?

Our caregivers are trained in managing medications, ensuring they are taken on time and in the correct dosage. We help clients track prescriptions, monitor potential side effects, and assist with refills. This ensures that your loved one’s health is managed correctly in the comfort of their home.

Can home care services be adjusted over time?

Yes, we understand that needs can change over time. We regularly review care plans to ensure they continue to meet your loved one's evolving needs. If additional support or changes are required, we will adjust the care plan to provide the best care.

How do I get started with home care?

Getting started is simple. Just contact us for a free consultation. We’ll schedule a time to discuss your loved one’s needs, preferences, and any questions you may have. From there, we’ll create a personalised care plan and introduce you to one of our experienced caregivers.

What happens if my caregiver is unavailable or sick?

We have a team of trained caregivers, and if your assigned caregiver is unavailable, we’ll arrange for a qualified substitute caregiver. We pride ourselves on maintaining continuity of care and ensuring your loved one’s needs are always met.

What if my loved one needs a care home instead of home care?

If your loved one requires more intensive care than what home care can provide, we can help. Through our sister company, RCB Healthcare Group, we operate several homes that offer residential care for individuals needing 24/7 supervision and support. Our care homes provide a safe, comfortable environment with qualified staff available around the clock to meet residents' medical, personal, and emotional needs. We’ll work with you to determine the best solution, whether transitioning to a care home or continuing with home care services.
