What Is the First Step to Arranging Home Care?

The initial step is to reach out to Home Instead Enfield. By contacting our team, we can organise a comprehensive care needs assessment. This assessment helps determine what level of care and support your parents require, as well as identify any home modifications that could improve their comfort and safety.

Our goal at Home Instead Enfield is to support your parents’ independence for as long as possible while ensuring they receive the right level of assistance.

What Types of Assistance Are Available?

Home care services can extend beyond what you might traditionally expect. Care professionals offer a broad range of support that can be tailored to your parents’ individual needs, which might include:

Household Assistance

Simple tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation can become more difficult as we age. Care professionals can assist with these chores, helping your parents maintain a comfortable home environment.

Personal Care

For those who need extra help, our care professionals can assist with personal tasks such as bathing, dressing, and mobility support.

Errands and Shopping

Running errands, such as grocery shopping or picking up prescriptions, can also become more difficult. With our care professionals, your parents can get what they need without the stress of going out.

Social Support and Companionship

Loneliness can be a major concern for older adults. Our Care Professionals offer companionship, whether it’s a friendly chat, helping your parents stay active in their hobbies, or even providing transport to a local community group.
