Our Services
Care for older people
Getting older shouldn’t mean giving up everything you’ve grown accustomed to in life. At Guardian Homecare, it’s our goal to promote independence and self-reliance so clients can live happy, fulfilled lives in the comfort of their own homes.
We support our elderly clients with daily tasks like housework, shopping, laundry, and cooking. Our care professionals also provide personal care services like bathing, going to the toilet, and assistance with medication. In many cases, we help our clients maintain social lives, escorting them to and from events. Along with general help, we also specialise in caring for age-related health conditions like dementia and Parkinson’s disease.
Guardian Homecare’s offers highly-personalised services. Each care plan is individually designed in partnership with the client, taking into account their particular needs, goals, and aspirations. The success of each care programme is measured in terms of whether those personal outcomes are achieved. This person-centred approach gives our older clients more choice and control over when and how their support is provided.
We match our care professionals with clients to ensure a great fit for both skill and personality. It’s our goal to provide high-quality care and companionship.
Supporting people with physical disabilities
Having specialist care needs shouldn’t prevent you from taking full advantage of everything life has to offer. Our care professionals provide support at home that enables those with physical disabilities to live independent and active lives.
We assist clients with the full range of daily living tasks while they’re in our care. Whether personal care, meal preparation, laundry, shopping, housework, or managing finances, we help our disabled clients lead active lives in and out of the home.
Care plans are designed around our clients’ preferences and aspirations. This person-centred, outcomes-focused approach gives our clients more choice and control over when and how they receive the support they need.
It’s not only adults that we help. We also provide support to many children and young people, helping them have the best start in life they can. We do what we can to offer them as fun-filled and active a childhood as possible.
We utilise person-centred approaches to supporting people with physical and learning disabilities so they can make as many decisions for themselves as possible. If our staff are required to make choices on a client’s behalf, we always look to do so in their best interests. It’s vital, too, that we match the right care professional with the right client based on respective skill-set and care needs.
Supporting learning disabilities
Our care professionals help those with learning disabilities lead independent and active lives.
At Guardian Homecare’s person-centred approach helps individuals reach their full potential. We see the person before the disability, even when a client’s behaviour is very challenging. Our team receives extensive training to support people who may present behaviour that’s difficult to manage. We always have the rights, dignity, and safety of our clients at the forefront of our minds.
It’s our goal to help those with learning disabilities maximise their independence. Whether providing sensory stimulation to the most profoundly disabled or helping young adults get set up in a new home, we adhere to our principles of empowerment and person-centred care. We make a real difference to every individual we support by focusing on achievable aspirations and goals.
Our team takes special care to ensure that we match the right care professional with the right client, looking to build a relationship centred on trust and companionship.
End-of-life care
Everyone has the right to live a life of dignity and at Guardian Homecare, we believe we all have the right to die with dignity, too. Our specialist end-of-life care teams have helped many people with terminal illnesses pass away at home in a way they feel most comfortable – often surrounded by their families, friends, and loved ones.
Working closely with colleagues in palliative care, our end-of-life care teams assist clients in planning their final moments. We help manage pain and discomfort, putting into effect agreed care plans. Our staff are trained to deal with the unique and challenging pressures that this type of care brings with it, providing unobtrusive, sensitive support, which ultimately promotes dignity.
Receiving end-of-Life care at home, rather than in a hospital or hospice, allows people to be closer to their families, friends, and loved ones. It’s also a comfort to families to know that the people they love are cared and looked after in the best possible way, helping maximise the time their loved one has left.
Complex care
Guardian Homecare provides support to people with multiple and profound disabilities, offering maximum independence for clients and relief and support for families.
Each care team is individually built to ensure the right blend of skills and experience to meet the particular needs of the individual. Our teams have the practical competencies as well as the personal attributes to provide friendly, proficient support that puts the client front and centre.
As with all our services, we work closely with family carers and advocates to develop personalised care plans. We also consider outcomes for family carers, taking a holistic ‘whole-family’ approach.
Our care programmes can be delivered in various ways, and we’ve made the process of setting up and implementing new services smooth and stress-free for clients and their families. Rest assured that we’ll take the time to match the staff assigned to each individuals in need to ensure a meaningful and lasting relationship is established.
Guardian Homecare is fortunate to have partnerships with other companies like ICCM that provide specialised care, including nursing. Contact us today to discuss your particular needs.
Reablement
Our trained reablement teams support people of all ages and needs to regain their skills and confidence at home, reducing or removing the need for ongoing care.
Getting back from a long hospital stay often means the loss of physical strength and confidence, a daunting prospect for anyone faced with that reality. Our expert reablement team works together with nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists to assist in a client’s rehabilitation to partial or full recovery.
We’ll always look to encourage our clients to help and support themselves as much as they can. We set short and long-term goals that allow clients to take each day step-by-step in regaining independence. Supported by our experienced and highly-trained care professionals, clients will stretch their limits in line with agreed goals. Progress is closely monitored and their reablement plan will be adjusted as necessary to respond to the their changing abilities.
Contact us more information on how we’re able to help with either yours, or a friend or family member’s reablement and rehabilitation.
