Homecare is the best service when you or your loved one doesn't want to leave the comfort of your home. A caregiver can work up to 48 hours per week providing care services. The hours a caregiver works, however, are determined by the type of care service you choose.
To become a homecare assistant, you do not need any prior training or experience. You can learn the necessary skills through on-the-job and off-the-job training that we offer.
Smoking, drinking, and using drugs are strictly prohibited at work. You should not verbally or physically abuse vulnerable clients and should instead be caring and empathetic to them. Don't go too far, especially when it comes to their private or family matters, and don't invade their privacy by going through their belongings, eavesdropping, or lingering when it's not necessary. Never go against the wishes of the doctor or family, and always arrive on time for the service.
Each client has unique needs, and their care plans should reflect this, as should the services they receive. Our services range from simple housekeeping to more complex assistance such as medication administration.
Of course, we can make the same arrangements. If you request that a specific carer be assigned to your care cycle, we can assist you in doing so.

Sleepovers or Sleep-in care: The caregiver sleeps at the property for a minimum of eight hours and is on hand if required. 2. Waking nights or Wake-in care: The care professional is on duty throughout the night for a minimum of eight hours, and the carer remains awake all night to cover any support needs that might arise.
We understand that our clients prefer to get to know a few carers, so we make it a priority to limit your care team to a few well-known carers. However, our caregivers take vacations and may become ill, so we may have to send someone else on events. You will always be notified if a different carer than the one you expected will be visiting, so you will always know who to expect.
