Personalise Homecare in South Cheshire Helped One Client Remain Independent at Homes

For many older people, staying in their own home for as long as possible is incredibly important. Familiar surroundings, established routines and independence can all contribute to a person's wellbeing and quality of life.

For Ms R, following falls and several admissions to Leighton Hospital, led her family to become increasingly concerned about her safety. They wanted to find a homecare provider that could offer flexible support while respecting Ms R's independence and wishes.

After researching several care providers, the family chose Right at Home South Cheshire. From the initial meeting, our team focused on listening to Ms R and understanding what mattered to her, ensuring she remained at the centre of her care.

Ms R's care package initially began with just one weekly visit. As her needs changed, so did the support provided.

Visits increased to three times a week when she needed additional help with meals and household tasks. Over time, carers noticed that Ms R was not always eating properly on days without support, so her care package was increased again to five days per week.

Carers provided practical assistance with preparing meals, laundry, changing bedding and household tasks, helping Ms R remain comfortable and independent at home.

A consistent team of carers also helped build trust and confidence. As these relationships developed, Ms R became more comfortable accepting additional support.
