What do home carers help with?

What is the meaning of home care?

Home carers assist people with daily tasks like taking medications, washing, and eating. They also provide companionship care and emotional support, as well as helping with a wide range of medical conditions; ranging from dementia to rehabilitative support after a hospital stay. Home care is any supportive care provided by trained caregivers in the comfort of your own home. This can vary from live-in care to companionship care. Home care means your loved one will receive support from dedicated carers in the comfort of their own home.
