Right at Home Solihull

Personal care is support that involves physical contact between a CareGiver and Client. This can include washing, dressing, grooming, toileting and continence care. Personal homecare incorporates all of these services, within the comfortable and familiar surroundings of your own home.

Our specially trained and trusted team of CareGivers pride themselves on being discreet and professional at all times. Thanks to our detailed care plans, they know exactly how each Client likes to maintain their personal routines.

The level of care we provide can be tailored completely to your needs and preferences. Our CareGivers support Clients to whatever level is necessary. They may provide full physical support, or simply wait outside the room in case they are needed. Sometimes, just knowing that someone is available at hand can help vulnerable and older people to live independently.

At Right at Home, we provide homecare for elderly people, in their own homes. Whether you, or a family member, needs a little extra help around the house, Right at Home can support you. Our home help for elderly people ranges from assistance at either end of the day to 24-hour support. We make arranging care as easy as possible – all from the comfort of your own home.

Our homecare services can support seniors with those every day tasks that may have become difficult to manage. We recognise that daily activities may not be as easy to complete as they once were. But our friendly team of CareGivers can help with dressing, bathing, cooking and more.

Sometimes referred to as ‘domiciliary care’, our services offer social care for elderly people, at home. Our specially trained and friendly team of CareGivers provide support with a wide-range of tasks, including:

- Housework, such as cleaning, laundry and vacuuming
- Shopping and running errands
- Cooking meals, to your personal tastes
- Washing and physical assistance
- Personal care, to maintain good hygiene
- Continence care, from help using the toilet to changing pads or catheters
- Medication support, offering reminders to ensure medication is taken on time

Our home from hospital care service is designed to support those returning home after being discharged from hospital. If you’re coming home following illness, injury, or an operation, it can be comforting to have the support of a CareGiver in place of hospital staff.

After a stay in hospital, Right at Home’s professional and personalised support can make the transition back home as relaxed and worry-free as possible.

Our homecare after hospital discharge services can encourage people to come out of hospital sooner. Our Clients feel confident in the knowledge that they have personal and practical support available that can reduce the risk of repeat injury and re-admission.

Respite care is temporary care to provide relief for a primary CareGiver. This may be arranged to cover a permanent CareGiver’s time off. Or, respite homecare may simply provide extra support as and when you need it. Respite care can be planned as one-off or regular visits, to provide peace of mind.

We could arrange a one-off visit, or regular visits to give a CareGiver a break from their caring responsibilities. Alternatively, we can provide support as and when it is needed. It could be just for an hour or two, or it could be managed live-in care for a number of weeks. You may simply need companionship and security checks, or full support for someone with more complex care needs.

Regardless of the duration of the package or the level of care needed, our approach is based entirely on that person’s usual routines. Our aim is always to make a temporary change in care services as easy for our Clients as possible.

We understand the difficulties associated with living with dementia. More importantly, we can support your loved one to remain living independently in the comfort of their own home.

Our trusted team of CareGivers help to maintain a safe home environment for all Clients. We’ll also advise on any adaptations that will make life easier. We also work with Clients and their loved ones to provide:

- emotional support
- respite care, to allow family carers to take a break
access to local services
- personal care and complex care, where required
- a personalised care package to anticipate and meet changing needs.

At Right at Home, we also have official Dementia Champions. We partner with the Alzheimer’s Society, so our team members are trained by experts. Every Dementia Champion delivers free information and awareness sessions to businesses and individuals across the local community. Our aim is to help more people to understand what it is like living with dementia.

Life after a stroke is different for every individual. Most people see some level of recovery during their stay in hospital. Many continue to recover and regain skills by following a care plan for stroke survivors at home.

Care plans following a stroke require input and development from a specialist stroke recovery team in hospital.

At Right at Home, our homecare for stroke patients can include:

- helping with mobility
- continence care
- managing and administering medication
household tasks
- transport
- shopping

Importantly, our professional CareGivers can also support Clients with their recovery and rehabilitation by assisting them to maintain their exercise routines and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Right at Home also has a Clinical Specialist, based at National Office, who is available to assist CareGiver teams across the network when caring for a stroke survivor.
