What are Home Care Service
Home care is a bespoke support option that lets you receive first-rate care in your own home.
Also known as ‘care at home’, home care gives you or your loved ones the opportunity to receive expert assistance in your own home. Home care can be received as little or as often as required – every individual will have their own set of care needs, which makes it important to have full flexibility over the support that you receive.
Whether you’d just like weekly care visits or require specialist care for a complex medical condition, home care is for people with all types and levels of need. Here are some of the many reasons why home care is such a popular support option:
One-to-one care
Home care gives you the opportunity to receive personal one-to-one support from your own carer, meaning you’ll always have their full attention
Stay in a familiar environment
Many people relish the chance to remain in the comfortable, secure surroundings of home whilst receiving the additional support they need
Personalised support
Home care allows you to enjoy a personalised care plan that ensures you’re always getting the ideal amount of assistance for your needs and wishes
Maintain routines and hobbies
From board games to going to the theatre, receiving care at home means you’ll be able to continue the routines and hobbies you enjoy
Spend more time with loved ones

When to consider help at home from a paid carer
If you're no longer able to live life on your own terms, you may wish to consider home care.
The ultimate goal of home care is to promote independent living that suits you. There is no set time, health condition or diagnosis to consider help at home from a professional home care service provider. It is simply when you feel that you need extra support to carry out everyday tasks and meal preparation or live life the way you want to.
You may wish to consider home care if you’re:
Struggling with daily routines
A carer can provide assistance with your daily routines – whether that’s doing time-consuming housework or providing discreet personal care
Unwilling to move to a care home
Care at home is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to moving to residential care because it allows you to remain in the home that you love
Requiring mobility support
A carer can help you get into and out of bed and move around your home with confidence, as well as assisting with physiotherapy exercises
Living with a complex condition
Our carers are fully trained to help people living with complex medical conditions who would benefit from extra support at home
Needing help leaving your home
With home care, your carer can help you get out and about – whether that’s popping to the shops, seeing loved ones or going away for the weekend
Feeling lonely or isolated
All Helping Hands carers are chosen for their kind, friendly personalities, which means they provide wonderful companionship as well as care support
Experienced carers, visiting you at home to provide life-changing care when and where you need it.
At Shifa Health & Social Care, we’ve got over 25 years’ experience in providing transformative home care to customers up and down the country. Our home care offers the extra support, reassurance, and companionship that may be needed for you to continue living independently at home.
We’re able to offer support on both a visiting care and live-in care basis to suit the personal needs of every individual
How can a carer help me at home?
Your personal carer is here to prioritise your well-being and support your independence.
The duties of a home carer often involve tasks such as general housekeeping (washing dishes, cleaning the home, doing laundry, making beds and so on). They are also able to help prepare meals as well as provide personal care (bathing, dressing) with dignity. Other ways a home carer can help include:
Personal care
All of our carers are trained to provide discreet, sensitive support with areas of personal care such as bathing, dressing, toileting and continence care
Housework
If you’re struggling to find the time or energy to stay on top of the housework, your carer can help out around the house with just about anything
Mobility support
Your carer will be able to help you get into and out of bed and move around your home, as well as assisting with physiotherapy exercises
Assistance with medication
From collecting it on your behalf to helping you organise and administer it, our carers are expertly trained to help you with your medication management
Looking after pets
With home care, you won’t need to worry about being parted from your furry friend(s) – your carer can exercise them, and generally spoil them rotten
Getting out of the house
A carer can accompany you out and about – whether that’s to the shops, to visit loved ones, or helping you attend social clubs and hobbies
