What services does Nurses Group Homecare offer?
The following are some of the services that Nurses Group Homecare offers:
1. Domiciliary Care:
Domiciliary care is a collection of services designed to support an individual in their own home. It is available to those who need additional assistance with daily activities such as domestic chores and personal hygiene. Now most of you might be thinking, "What is the difference between domiciliary care and residential care?" Well, the basic difference is the location of care provision and the support services that are associated with each. Residential care involves living in a care facility that offers a communal living experience to residents, whereas domiciliary care involves providing care at home. In residential care, 24/7 support service is available, while in domiciliary care, an individual can opt for a full-time, part-time, or any other schedule as per the client's convenience.
2. Live-in care:
It is a customised form of domiciliary care, as it is a personal, one-to-one service that is tailored to the needs of each individual. Nurses Group Homecare helps individuals in personalise their care services, with our carers moving into a person's residence to provide 24-hour live-in care. We offer a wide range of support, including companionship, helping with domestic chores, taking care of the food and nutritional needs of the patient, and so on.
3. Respite care:
It is a planned or emergency temporary care provided to the family carer. Nurses Group Homecare can provide short-term support to an individual or couple so that the main caregiver can take a break. This service gives surety their loved ones that their support needs are met even when they are away. Moreover, this homecare service enables the person to continue to live in their own home rather than move to a temporary residential care facility and disrupt their daily routine while their carers are away. Respite care can be classified into three categories: in-home care, visiting care, and residential care.
In addition to these general support services, Nurses Group Homecare also offers the following specialised services:
1. Dementia care:
Nurses Group Homecare provides a wide variety of dementia care services, including assistance with basic hygiene, management of catheter care, skin care integrity, and medication management, to name just a few. We have highly trained professionals who specialise in providing one-on-one care at our clients' homes. We can help a person from the beginning to the final stage of dementia, providing them with the best quality of life possible. Nurses Group Homecare understands that as an individual goes through different stages of dementia, the intensity of support required will also increase, and thus we create a care plan that can be altered for each stage.
2. Parkinson's care:
Nurses Group Homecare understand that Parkinson's is a life-altering neurological condition that affects speech and other functions of a person; keeping this in mind, we design our care plans. Our Parkinson's care services include providing assistance with complex medication regimens, emotional and physical support, help in maintaining a healthy diet, and so on. Nurses Group Homecare can provide short regular visits, longer visits, night care, respite, or full-time live-in carers so that individuals and their families can be at ease.
3. Elderly care:
According to the annual State of Ageing Report UK 2022 by the Centre for Better Ageing, there are almost 11 million people aged 65 and over in the UK. This equates to around 19% of the UK population.

The quality of our services demonstrates that the carers at Nurses Group Homecare are highly qualified, trained, and compassionate. Nurses Group Homecare provides necessary support services to people and their families and creates a care plan based on their needs and preferences.

4. Palliative care:
Palliative care is a specialised service aimed at alleviating pain and reducing the symptoms of serious or terminal illnesses. The Nurses Group Homecare palliative support programme includes a variety of services, including medication management, meal preparation, physical therapy, and rehabilitation — in addition to emotional and spiritual support. In addition to providing companionship and support at home, a specialist in palliative care can help individuals feel less isolated, thereby reducing their anxiety. Carers can assist patients with daily personal routines such as eating, bathing, and running errands.
Besides the aforementioned services, Nurses Group Homecare also offers some disability care services. They are as follows:
1. Learning disability care:
As per the latest report, there are nearly 1.5 million people with a learning disability in the UK. Many of them rely on their families and friends for assistance. However, with fully trained and dedicated carers, Nurses Group Homecare helps individuals and their families live as independently as possible.
