Initial Enquiry
Everything begins with your initial enquiry. Whether you’ve been recommended our services by a healthcare professional or found us through your own research, our team is ready to listen. We understand the importance of a supportive ear and reassurance during this time. Our aim from the very first conversation is to comprehend your loved one’s situation and determine how we can best assist.
Care Consultation
Following your enquiry, we arrange an obligation free face-to-face Care Consultation with the client. This visit is integral to our service. It allows us to build a relationship with the client and to assess not only their practical needs but also their personal preferences, habits, and interests. Our consultations are without pressure; we want clients to feel at ease discussing their circumstances in the comfort of their own homes.
Creating a Tailored Care Plan
Next, we develop a bespoke detailed Care Plan for each client. Our local client Mary is an example, where tailored care strategies specific to her needs have been crucial. The District Nurses Community Team recommended to Mary’s family that home support was needed to help her with her personal care. At Home Instead, we quickly discovered that it wasn’t that Mary couldn’t do it, it was more that she had previously knocked her confidence with an unwitnessed fall in the shower. This highlighted the importance of adaptability and close communication, as it was not just physical care she required but also psychological reassurance. Her tailored Care Plan started with dry runs in the shower, gradually building her confidence, until she was comfortable to shower independently. Involving family and Solent District Nurses ensured a considered, collaborative approach, ultimately resulting in a significant improvement in Mary’s skin condition and overall well-being.
Every Care Plan is a living document, meticulously prepared and regularly reviewed to adapt to the ever-changing needs of our clients. It encompasses everything from personal care to medication management, and it is always crafted with the input of the client and their family.
Matching Process
Finding the right Care Professional for each client is at the heart of our ethos. We believe care is more than just a service; it’s a companionship. As such, we take great care in matching clients to Care Professionals based on shared interests, personality traits, and the specific care requirements. This thoughtful matching process enhances the overall care experience.
