Helping Loved Ones Live Well at Home

Homecare can look different for everyone. Some people may only need a little extra support with their daily routine, while others may require ,ore regular support throughout the day - the important thing is that at Right at Home Weybridge & Richmond, care is built around your loved one, and what matters to them. 

This could include support with personal care, such as washing or dressing, as well as support with everyday tasks (like meal preparation, light household tasks or medication administration), or gaining confidence to continue doing things your loved one enjoys - for example, our lovely Client loves hat shopping in Richmond and a walk round bushy park.

Companionship is an important part of homecare. Regular visits can provide your loved one with a friend to talk to, sharing a cup of tea and having a trusted, friendly face around. For individuals that may spend a lot of time alone, companionship visits can become an important and enjoyable part of their week. For those living with dementia, tailored care at home can offer specialist support with familiar and consistent routines; in the comfort of their home. 

It can sometimes be difficult to know when a loved one would benefit from homecare. Perhaps everyday tasks are beginning to take a little longer, they are finding personal care more challenging or they are no longer confident preparing meals or getting out of the house. 

You may also notice they are spending more time alone or that family members are on an increasing amount of responsibility - while family support can be incredibly valuable, having professional homecare in place can provide an additional layer or support and peace of mind. 

Homecare is flexible, so support can be introduced gradually and adapted as needs change. For some, this may mean a few visits each week, while others may benefit from more regular care. For those who need continuous support, our Live-in care can provide round the clock support.
