Right at Home’s full-time care at home in Bromley

We offer this type of care to anyone who needs it. Our full-time homecare Clients often include people with dementia, who may be prone to putting themselves at risk through confusion or disorientation. Our 24-hour support team also helps those with poor mobility who may be 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 elderly loved ones approach end-of-life. Our CareGivers in Bromley are fully trained to support all Clients in their day-to-day lives, particularly those who need the reassurance and peace of mind of having someone nearby.

The benefits of 24-hour care at home

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

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

Our full-time Carers have the knowledge to care for each Client’s individual needs.

We give our Clients the level of care that we would want for our own family members. 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 care services are designed to suit the unique requirements 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 looking after a loved one, there may come a time to think about 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 getting support.

There are certain things to consider that can help you make your decision regarding full-time care. We recommend asking yourself 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 Carer. Similarly if you are concerned that your loved one isn’t able to meet their own physical needs, such as eating and drinking, we 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 want to look into 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 help.

We’re aware 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 Bromley-based 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.
