With the help of a specialist homecare service, your loved one can benefit from increased mobility and improved quality of life, enjoying greater social engagement and companionship. Furthermore, it will give them access to personalised care that meets their needs, offering them the support and assurance they need for a positive, safe and healthy life in their home. 

Here we look in more detail at some of the ways specialist homecare can help your loved one;

Increased mobility

Sometimes, as we age, our mobility can become compromised making day-to-day living more challenging. So it’s reassuring to know that homecare can help if personal tasks like washing, shopping or picking up medication have become difficult. Specialist homecare services can increase mobility by providing patient-specific exercises and activities tailored to their needs. These exercises and activities can improve balance, gait, flexibility, and strength, allowing for increased independence. With increased mobility your loved one can enjoy a more active life, with greater autonomy. 

Improved quality of life

Specialist homecare services can make a massive difference to the quality of life for those with disabilities and other needs. Not only do they provide practical help with everyday tasks like getting dressed, bathing and managing medications, but they also offer emotional support, and opportunities to pursue hobbies and interests outside the home. With the proper care, clients can remain independent in their homes for longer, surrounded by family and friends. Professional homecare services can also provide a sense of security to patients and families with the peace of mind knowing their loved one is receiving the best care. It allows individuals to live life to the fullest, safe in the knowledge that they can access the care and assistance they need.

Social engagement

Staying engaged within our community is essential, particularly as we get older. It assists us in remaining connected with friends and family, keeping us socially active and reducing loneliness. Furthermore, social engagement helps maintain cognitive function, physical activity and a sense of purpose in life - all of which are essential aspects of healthy ageing. Homecare services offer the support your loved one needs to get out and about and do things. This could be attending a class, joining a club, or even signing up for a trip. At Right At Home, we offer specialist homecare services in Alton and Bordon. We love taking our clients out in the local community, and one of our favourite places is exploring the local history at the Curtis Museum. Socialising is essential for maintaining good mental and physical health.

Personalised care

Homecare services offer personalised care plans that ensure the care your loved one receives is adapted to their individual needs. This bespoke approach allows for greater flexibility, as it can be altered to accommodate changes in medical conditions or preferences. This is empowering and offers great encouragement to live as independently as possible while still having access to all the support needed.

Companionship

Homecare services provide more than just assistance with daily tasks; they also offer companionship and friendship. Having the presence of a compassionate, understanding caregiver can make all the difference, especially for those feeling lonely or isolated. Homecare services bring joy into people’s lives, whether it is someone to talk to, play games with, or enjoy being around while watching television. They can help those feeling lonely reconnect with their community, improve their mental health, and even reduce feelings of depression. Together caregivers and clients can create meaningful relationships that will last for years.

This means that the relationship is more than a carer and client one.
