What is 24-hour care in Enfield?

Our 24-hour homecare services involve having a professional CareGiver on hand throughout the day and another through the night. Our Carers keep a close eye on our Clients, to keep them safe and comfortable at all times of day and night.

24-hour care services are a realistic and valuable alternative to residential care. Above all, full-time homecare allows your loved one to remain in familiar surroundings.

Right at Home Enfield’s full-time care at home

Right at Home offers this type of care to anyone who needs it. Our full-time care Clients often include people with dementia, who may be prone to putting themselves at risk through confusion or disorientation. We also support those with poor mobility who are unable to move around their home without assistance.

Every family who needs around-the-clock care for a relative has their own unique story. What all of our Clients share is the desire to provide the very best for their loved one, particularly when their needs become greater than the family can manage.

24-hour care is often needed as our loved ones approach end-of-life. Our CareGivers in Enfield are fully trained to support all Clients in their day-to-day lives, especially those who need the reassurance of having someone nearby.

The benefits of 24-hour care at home

Most importantly, our 24-hour homecare services in Enfield provide peace of mind for our Clients and their loved ones. Beyond practical support and companionship, 24-hour care includes:

• Reassurance for older people who may otherwise suffer from loneliness
• Improved personal care, including reducing the common risks of UTIs and skin infections
• Reduced fall risk
• Lower risk of dehydration or hunger
• Improved socialisation and quality of life

Our full-time CareGivers understand exactly how to care for the individual needs of each Client.

We care for our Clients as we would for our own family. All of our full-time care at home providers understand the importance of first-rate communication; which is why we work in close partnership with others to offer personalised support.

All of our services are designed to suit the individual needs of each Client. We spend time getting to know and understand their needs and aim to deliver the very best care every time. 

When is it the right time for 24-hour care?

If you are providing care, there may come a time to consider employing 24-hour care. It can be difficult to know when the time is right, but if you are struggling to provide safe and effective care yourself, then there is no shame in seeking help.

There are certain things to consider that can help you make your decision regarding full-time care. We recommend thinking about the following questions:

• Is your loved one safe if they’re home alone?

Is there a possibility that your loved one may not be safe when someone isn’t around to care for them? Are you worried that your loved one may fall or otherwise hurt themselves? It may be time to seek support from a 24-hour CareGiver. Similarly if you are concerned that your loved one isn’t able to meet their own physical needs, such as eating and drinking, our team of Carers can help. 

• Are you feeling overwhelmed by providing care?

CareGiver stress can be an important sign that it may be time to seek help from someone else. If you just need some short-term support or temporary relief, you may wish to consider our respite care services.

• Does your loved one require more care than you are qualified to provide? 

Most people aren’t trained to deal with the full extent of their loved one’s needs. If they require specialist care in response to a medical condition, then it’s likely time to consider 24-hour support.

We know that there are other factors to consider when deciding what is right for you and your family; but these questions are a good place to start. 

Our friendly and supportive team of full-time Carers and facilitators will help to define a care plan that suits you. Above all, we’ll put your loved one’s safety first. Remember: there is no shame in enlisting full-time support to meet their care requirements.
