24 Hour Care in Poole

At Home Instead Poole, our 24-hour care packages involve one-on-one help, including companionship and befriending to sophisticated health care for health concerns such as dementia, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy and other health conditions.

A Care Pro is a highly-trained, skilled carer who is matched to you, your specialist care needs, and your situation. They will support you and provide you with one-on-one help as needed in the comfort of your own home.

The number of hours of care you require each day is entirely up to you and your loved one to decide.

The best way to find out your exact needs and requirements is by booking a care consultation with one of our care managers. They will guide you through your options and assess what is best for you.

Three to Four Care Pros are scheduled every day for 14 hours divided between them, and one for 10 hours during the night. 

A care recipient may wish to schedule three 4-5 hour visits to guarantee Care Pros are at their most alert.

A single Care Pro can only work a total of four nights per week. As a result, several 24-hour carers will be scheduled to cover all visits and provide enough cover should someone go off sick or be on holiday. 

We charge an hourly rate for 24-hour care. For nights, the fee is billed at a fixed rate; Day hours are billed at an hourly rate.

It is also essential to state that this service is not just for the elderly.

There are everyday situations, conditions and events where live-in care offers the solution to challenges you might face moving forward:

Long-term conditions: Diseases like Parkinson’s require close and careful monitoring. Our Care Pros are trained to observe any changes to a client’s health, wellbeing and behaviour, ready to take action if there is ever a cause for concern.

Dementia care: Living at home means staying in familiar surroundings and maintaining those daily Tasks that might not be possible in residential care. 24-hour Home care suits somebody living with dementia, where continuity of life in the home they have grown to love is proven to be beneficial.

Losing a spouse: When a spouse dies, it takes some time to adjust, both emotionally and practically. A Care Pro can be a much-needed companion and fulfil the support role that you’ve recently lost.

Frailty: Getting older for many means not being able to do the simplest of things, even lifting the kettle to make a cup of tea. Live-in care can support someone who is becoming frail to maintain their independence and quality of life.

Unexpected illness and events: Whether it’s a fall or a sudden illness, your loved one could be susceptible to events that may quickly have a need for care. Professional help will relieve the pressure from you and your family.

We work with vulnerable people to give the best quality of care available. We’ll take the time to find out what you need to get back to living independently and formulate a 24-hour care plan that encapsulates everything you need.

Situations may vary, and no one client care plan fits all, but one thing is sure: our priority is to provide care and support for your loved one with the highest level of care. 

Everyone’s situation may be different. However, our priority will always remain the same: providing support to vulnerable or older adults with the highest level of care we can provide.
