At Everycare Hants, we understand that choosing to transition a loved one from independent living or a care facility to home care can bring both comfort and concern. While home care offers personalised attention and comfort, it also comes with a set of considerations that families should understand to ensure a smooth transition. Here is what you need to know.
Understanding Home Care Options
Home care can vary widely depending on the level of support required:
- Non-medical home care: Assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and companionship.
- Skilled medical care: Services provided by licensed healthcare professionals, nurses, physical therapists, or home health aides for medical needs.
We work closely with families by assessing your loved one’s health, mobility and daily needs ensuring they receive the right level of care.
Trusted, Personalised Care You Can Rely On.
Here at Everycare, we understand that finding a dependable home care provider is one of the most important decisions a family can make. That is why we prioritise quality, trust, and personalised care in every service we offer.
When choosing care through us, families can feel confident because we ensure:
- Fully licensed and trained staff: All our carers meet strict licensing and certification standards, giving you peace of mind that your loved one is in safe, professional hands.
- Thorough background checks and references: Every member of our team undergoes comprehensive screening, so we only employ trustworthy and dependable professionals.
- Specialised experience: Whether your loved one needs dementia care, mobility support or assistance with complex medical needs, our carers have the expertise to provide compassionate and tailored support.
- Personality and compatibility matching: We take the time to your loved one’s preferences and personality, ensuring a positive, harmonious relationship with their carer.
At Everycare Winchester, we believe trust and communication are just as vital as skills. Our carers do not just provide care, they build relationships, offering reassurance, companionship, and consistency every day.
Preparing Your Home
Transitioning to home care may require modifications to make the environment safe and accessible and we are here to help make those practical adjustments such as:
- Installing grab bars in bathrooms
- Removing tripping hazards
- Ensuring adequate lighting and clear pathways
- Organising medication and supplies for easy access.
A safe, comfortable space can help your loved one feel secure and independent.
Staying Involved
Even with professional support, family involvement remains crucial. At Everycare, we partner with families to ensure ongoing engagement:
- Regular updates: Our carers provide transparent communication on your loved one’s care and progress.
- Participation in medical appointments: We coordinate with you and healthcare providers for consistent, informed care.
- Maintaining social connections: We encourage social interaction and activities that keep your loved one engaged and happy.
By staying involved, families play an active role in the emotional and physical wellbeing of their loved ones.
At Everycare Winchester, home care is about more than just support. It is about comfort, dignity, and personalised attention. By carefully assessing needs, choosing the right carers, preparing the home environment, and staying engaged, families can ensure their loved one thrives with care that truly feels like home.
