When someone you love starts finding everyday tasks more difficult, it can be worrying for the whole family. You may find yourself wondering whether they are eating properly, remembering their medication, managing their personal care or simply coping safely when you’re not there.
At Care 24/7 Solutions, our personal care services in Swindon provide the practical support your loved one needs, while helping them maintain their dignity, independence and familiar routines at home.
We understand that accepting care can be a big step. That’s why our carers take time to get to know each person — what they like, how they prefer things to be done and the routines that are important to them.
From a little help getting ready in the morning to more regular support throughout the day, we’ll create a care plan around your loved one and their individual needs.
For you and your family, it means greater peace of mind knowing someone you love is safe, supported and cared for at home.
Medication Support
Reassurance that medication is being taken safely and at the right time
Keeping on top of medication can become difficult, particularly when someone is living with reduced mobility, memory difficulties or a changing health condition.
For families, this can understandably become a source of worry.
Our trained carers can provide medication support as part of your loved one’s personalised care plan, including reminders and appropriate assistance with prescribed medication.
Where physical difficulties make managing medication harder, our carers can provide the agreed level of support in accordance with the person’s care plan and medication instructions.
It gives your loved one practical support while giving your family reassurance that their medication routine is being properly supported.
How Our Personal Care Can Help Your Loved One
Bathing & Personal Hygiene
Personal care is incredibly private, so kindness, patience and dignity are at the heart of how we support your loved one.
Our carers can provide help with bathing, showering, washing and drying, as well as support getting safely in and out of the bath or shower.
If your loved one prefers to manage independently, their carer can simply be nearby to provide reassurance and assistance when needed.
Dressing & Getting Ready
Small things such as buttons, zips, shoelaces or choosing clothes can become frustrating when mobility or dexterity changes.
Our carers can help your loved one get dressed and ready for the day at their own pace, while encouraging them to do as much as they comfortably can for themselves.
It’s about providing help where it’s needed without taking away someone’s independence.
Continence Care
We understand how sensitive continence care can be.
Our carers provide discreet and respectful support with toileting and personal hygiene, always protecting your loved one’s privacy and dignity.
Depending on their individual care needs, this may include support with continence products and appropriate catheter or stoma care.
Our priority is always to make your loved one feel comfortable, respected and never embarrassed about needing assistance.
Meals & Nutrition
If you’re worried that someone you love isn’t eating properly, struggling to prepare meals or finding shopping difficult, our carers can help.
We can support with shopping, preparing meals and drinks, and making mealtimes an enjoyable part of the day.
And sometimes sitting down for a cup of tea and a conversation can be just as important as preparing the meal itself.
Morning & Bedtime Routines
Starting and ending the day safely can become difficult when someone’s mobility changes.
Our carers can support your loved one with getting in and out of bed, washing, dressing and preparing for the day or settling comfortably for the night.
Where specialist moving and handling support is required, this can be incorporated into their individual care plan following the appropriate assessment.
Most importantly, we work around their routine, rather than expecting them to fit around ours.
Help Around the Home
Sometimes it’s the everyday jobs that gradually become harder to manage.
Our carers can provide help with light household tasks such as laundry, washing up, vacuuming and keeping important areas of the home comfortable and tidy.
We encourage your loved one to remain involved wherever they can, helping them maintain their independence and sense of control over their own home.
Care That Fits Around Your Loved One
No two people — and no two families — are the same.
Your loved one may only need a little support each week, or they may need regular visits throughout the day. We’ll take the time to understand their needs, routines and preferences before creating a personalised care plan.
And as their needs change, their care can change with them.
Our goal is simple: to help your loved one continue living safely and independently in their own home for as long as possible, while giving your family greater reassurance and peace of mind.
