Live independently with care support

Keep your independence at home!

Having a carer come to visit you in your home can make a huge difference to your life, especially if you have difficulty walking or getting around. It can help you stay living independently in your own home.

This type of care is known as homecare or domiciliary care or sometimes home help.

Homecare is very flexible. You might need a carer for only an hour a week or for several hours a day. You might need a live-in carer. It can be temporary – for example for a few weeks while you recover from an illness. Or it can be long term.

A carer can visit you at home to help you with all kinds of things including:

getting out of bed in the morning
washing and dressing
brushing your hair
using the toilet
preparing meals and drinks
remembering to take your medicines
doing your shopping
collecting prescriptions or your pension
getting out, for example to a lunch club
getting settled in the evening and ready for bed
