How Our Home Care Process Works For Families in Newcastle

Curious about the steps you'll need to take to set up the right forms of care for your loved one? We know this can be a difficult time for families. We've made the path to establishing care simple, straightforward, and stress-free. In fact, we'll guide you every step of the way.

These steps include:

• A brief phone call with our office. During an introductory phone call, you can have general questions answered about our services and take the next step of scheduling a consultation with one of our care coordinators.
• A care consultation at your convenience. We can meet with you, relatives who participate in your loved one's care, and your loved one at their home for a free initial meeting. Our discussion will focus on your loved one's needs, your family's preferences, and how we can help.
• Development of a unique home care plan. We'll use the information we learn during the free consultation into a care plan customized to your loved one's care requirements and daily schedule.
• Selection of a professional care provider. Lastly, we'll carefully pair your loved one with the professional from our local team. We match caregivers and clients based on personality and the ability to provide the essential care included in their care plan.

Providing Supportive Home Care in a Variety of Ways

We help seniors in a variety of ways. Some of the most common are detailed below:

Companion Care Services

If you wish that you could provide an elderly loved one with more company and companionship, you may find greater peace of mind knowing they are benefiting from companion care. Companion care allows seniors to enjoy building a relationship with a professional caregiver. It also gives them access to help with basic activities, such as remembering their medication schedules, planning and preparing meals, and running errands.

Essential Personal Care in Newcastle

Personal care can include support with the different activities and routines your loved one struggles with due to balance issues, mobility complications, strength concerns, or a chronic health condition.

For example, a personal care plan could include help with safely walking and transferring, using the restroom, showering, getting dressed, and completing household chores. This care type is best suited to seniors who need more advanced help rather than basic assistance at home.

Alzheimer's Care and Dementia Care

We are proud to offer specialized care that enables seniors with cognitive decline and severe memory disorders to stay in the surroundings they know and love. Whether your loved one has been diagnosed with dementia or is struggling with the unique aspects of Alzheimer's disease, we can craft a dedicated care plan that accommodates their symptoms as they progress over time and helps them stay safe at home.

End of Life Care and Palliative Care

We also offer services that help seniors feel more comfortable during the end of life stage or as they deal with a life-limiting condition.

End of life care focuses on making seniors as comfortable as possible as they near the end of life. This type of care offers logistical and emotional care for families, so they can focus on the precious days ahead.

Palliative care, on the other hand, eases discomfort and includes care that tends to social, emotional, and spiritual needs in order to uplift and fortify seniors' spirits during particularly challenging chapters of their life.

Fall Prevention Services

Get started with our Safe & Steady Fall Prevention program to help your loved one avoid one of the most common sources of injury for seniors: falls. This program comprises both mobility assistance and fall safety assessments, giving seniors crucial tips for home safety improvements and techniques that can make a difference in their long-term independence. 

Social Care Services

When your loved one wants to communicate with friends and family from afar, they may feel frustrated to realize that their unfamiliarity with technology becomes a barrier. Our Social Care program is designed with this situation in mind. It helps seniors become more familiar with social networking platforms and other forms of innovative communication so they can more easily maintain the relationships they cherish.
