Home Care in Basingstoke
According to the 2021 census, 17.3% of the Basingstoke population are over the age of 65. This amounts to over 32,000 people! While many older people are able to continue living as they did in years gone by, others may find that health or age affects their ability to carry out daily tasks.
You also need to factor in the number of 0-64 year olds who have their own needs which may require additional support. Home care in Basingstoke can provide person-centred support to maximise independence.
Why should you choose home care in Basingstoke?
When you’ve worked hard to create a home, you may not want to give it up. Worries about managing with independent living while combatting health conditions or problems with mobility may already be making you feel anxious, so you don’t need additional stress on top of this!
It is possible to continue living in your home and to have support in place that enables you do to so safely.
Our dedicated team of Healthcare Assistants can visit you as little or often as you like, allowing you to take control of the support you receive and ensure that your wellbeing is prioritised.
Trusted care for you or your loved one
Searching for home care in Alton can be a rather daunting experience. You may quickly find a number of care providers in the area but this wide range of choice can make it difficult to know who you should select.
Trust is a big factor in setting up care for yourself or a loved one. Ultimately, the company you choose will be responsible for sending Healthcare Assistants into your home. You must, therefore, put your trust in them to act with the client’s best interests in mind. You want that reassurance that each member of the care team will have the right qualities to connect with the individual, both on a professional and personal level.
How to set up home care in Basingstoke
There are several options to choose from when setting up a care package. The ability to access them will depend on your level of need.
Private Care
Anyone can ask for private home care in Basingstoke, with no restrictions. The visits you receive will depend entirely on your wishes, giving you full control.
State-funded Care
Receiving state-funded care from your council or local adult/children’s services may require initial assessments before you can be approved for care. The paying body may dictate how many visits, or hours of care, you are allowed each week. Generally, the times of visits can be discussed with the provider, giving you some leeway.
Should you want, or require, more visits on top of those already allocated, you may be able to pay for top-up time as if you were a private client.
Tailored care for you
Our team are trained to support a variety of health needs, including:
Dementia can vary from person to person, which is why we create bespoke care plans to meet your needs and prioritise what is important to you.
Conditions from birth, or as a result of illness or injury, can drastically affect your child’s life. We want to support them, and the family as a whole, with both their health needs and making visits fun.
The effects of a brain injury can be minor or profound. We are here to help both during the recovery period and after to support you in maximising your enjoyment and wellbeing.
We offer compassionate and dedicated care for those who are reaching the end of their life, with dignity and respect at the forefront of our visits.
