At Evans Home Care, we understand that the decision to reach out to a domiciliary care company is a significant one. Allowing a caregiver into your home is a personal choice, and it’s important to feel confident that you have selected the right company with the right carers.
However, discussing the option of home care is an essential conversation to have. It’s crucial to assess the needs and preferences of the person receiving care, as well as determining the level of care required.
Seamless Integration into Your Daily Routine
The team at Evans Home Care is dedicated to providing personalized one-to-one care or companionship, and our goal is to seamlessly integrate into your daily routine.
Rest assured that all members of the Evans Home Care team undergo thorough background checks, including DBS checks, reference checks, and identification verification during the interview stage.
Care For You
How do I know if home care is the right choice for me or my loved one?
At Evans Home Care, your routine becomes our routine. Our caregivers familiarize themselves with your schedule, existing health conditions, and medication requirements. Our job is to make your life easier, and we aim to do so in the place where you feel most comfortable—your home.
How do I prepare my home for care?
The discussion about starting care often arises following an event such as a fall or illness. However, when considering care, it’s important not to rush into any decisions. Instead, take the time to explore your options and determine what will benefit you and your loved ones the most. Start with small steps to ensure a smoother transition.
Our Recommendations
Leaving your home can be challenging, as it holds cherished memories and promises the opportunity to create more in the future. We believe in the significance of receiving care while remaining in the comfort of your own home, as it offers physical and emotional benefits.
To ensure your home is ready for our caregivers, we recommend a few actions that can facilitate a smooth transition:
Install a Key Safe:
To allow easy access for our caregivers, we suggest installing a key safe. This ensures that your caregiver can enter your home conveniently while providing you with the peace of mind that your home remains secure from unwanted visitors. Installing a key safe also proves useful for accommodating visits from family members, GPs, or members of our team with short notice.
Consider Home Modifications:
If home care appears to be the right option for you, it may be beneficial to plan for the long term by making some small modifications to your home. These may include:
- Installing a stairlift.
- Adding bathroom handrails or a hoist.
- Purchasing non-slip mats for the bathroom.
- Placing a waterproof personal alarm in your bathroom to alert someone if you encounter any trouble.
Your caregiver can also assist with other adjustments, such as labeling kitchen cupboards, helping with utility bill payments, or providing personal care support.
If you believe home care is suitable for your needs, contact us today to arrange an initial assessment with a member of our team. From there, we will collaborate with you and your family to create a care plan that addresses your specific requirements and preferences. We prioritize ensuring that the care you receive is tailored to your needs and that both you and your home are well-prepared.
