Visiting Home Care
MyLife provides a bespoke visiting home care service, to offer a little extra support; allowing you to continue living independently in your own home.
The service is extremely flexible – our MyLife Care Assistants can visit once a week, or up to several visits a day throughout the week, depending on what is needed.
We understand the importance of continuity, and depending on your requirements, there may be two or three MyLife Assistants who will visit on a rota basis.
At MyLife our assistants have the ability to carry out a number of different activities when they visit, whether it be a trip to the shops or helping with hoovering followed by a cup of tea and a chat.
Your MyLife Assistant will help with whatever is needed at that time, and activities might be:
Help with getting up in the morning
Help with dressing and personal care, such as showering or hair washing
Preparing meals
Light household duties such as cleaning, laundry and ironing
Help with a trip to the shops
Making the home secure
Help with getting ready for bed at night.
Our care plans are flexible and responsive, regularly reviewed and updated to ensure we are always providing the right level of care.
Live-In Care
For many people, live in care has become the popular alternative to being in a residential care home. Live in care offers one to one support in your own personal and private environment. It enables you to stay in your local community and close to friends who may live nearby, as well as your favourite places to meet, go walking or visit. Having a Live in Assistant gives your family the peace of mind that somebody is there to always help in the home as well as being a friendly and encouraging presence.
Companionship Care
For many families living far away from loved ones, it can be very difficult to help an older parent, family member or friend living on their own. A health condition or increasingly limited mobility can increase isolation for elderly people, or maybe there just aren’t as many friends around to spend time with as there once were who are able to offer daily companionship care.
Loneliness can have a significant impact on mental health and wellbeing, which in turn can delay recovery from illness and injury.
Companionship homecare offers a friendly face and allows you to take back control of your life, re-enabling involvement in social events and activities.
Dementia Support
A health condition such as dementia can increase feelings such as loss of control, understanding or being able to do the things you once enjoyed independently.
A MyLife assistant will have undertaken familiarisation training and will have skills to understand a person and how they are feeling, to communicate in the appropriate manner and style and will offer a sense of security to the person with the condition.
