What is
What is Home & Domiciliary Care?
Home and domiciliary care refer to a type of healthcare service provided to individuals who require
assistance with their daily living activities due to age, illness, or disability, but wish to remain living in their own homes instead of a nursing home or assisted living facility. It involves a range of services that help individuals maintain their independence, such as personal care, housekeeping, medication management, meal preparation, and companionship.
Home care services are typically provided by trained professionals such as nurses, home health
aides, and physical therapists who visit the patient's home on a regular basis to provide the
necessary care. Domiciliary care, on the other hand, refers to long-term care provided in a person's
own home, often by a live-in caregiver. Both home and domiciliary care are designed to help individuals maintain their quality of life and independence, while also providing necessary medical and personal care to ensure their safety and well-being.
Dementia care
Having a loved one with dementia can be a heartbreaking time, we understand how this can affect everyone around the service user. Our lovely staff can help with the support and care needed in maintaining a service users’ daily routine in a comfortable and safe manner without compromising their dignity. We care for our service users just like how we would personally want our own family members to be treated.
We will also make sure that after we review our initial consultation with the service user and their family member or carer, that the staff member we place for your dementia care remains the same. This will ensure that smooth care and support can be done with the service user in mind.
Live In care
Live-In care might be needed at any point of your life, this might be to help a service user with a physical or mental disability with their everyday tasks and personal care or it would simply benefit the service user having someone there to help them long-term in their own home. This can benefit anyone from the ages 18 years old and over, especially when discharged from a hospital and need support recovering from their illness, accident or life changing disabilities.
Companionship
We believe that care and support are not always about complex medical needs or essential personal care tasks. It is important to live the life that you want, doing the things you love and feeling as yourself as possible. We can support you with hobbies and interests, outings or day outs, running errands, or just popping around for a cup of tea and a good chat.
Each of our carers is recruited and trained to provide quality companionship services, tailored to your own wants and needs, so you can live a fulfilling and independent life. As a family-run business, we can offer continuity of care so that you can build familiarity and a friendship with your companion. We will endeavour to send you a regular carer to assist with hobbies, activities, and errands so you can develop a relationship that we know you will enjoy.
Our lovely care staff love a good chat and a good cup of tea!
Respite
Our staff can provide cover from a few hours to all day if your primary carer is having a break from their carer responsibilities. Relatives and carers can confidently enjoy a short time away knowing that Forward Option Services’ staff will provide everyday physical, practical, domestic, and emotional support and give you and your family total peace of mind.
This may be the option if you have recently been discharged from the hospital. With our compassionate and caring nurses, we can look after you in the comfort of your own home, leaving you free to concentrate on recuperation and enjoying being at home in familiar surroundings. They will make sure that your privacy, dignity, and self-respect are maintained at all times.
