How to get homecare for the disabled
​Arranging homecare for individuals with disabilities through GoodOaks Homecare involves a straightforward and personalised process designed to ensure the best possible support. Here’s how it works:​
Initial consultation: Begin by reaching out to your local GoodOaks branch to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation. During this meeting, we discuss your specific needs, preferences, and goals to understand how we can assist you or your loved one. ​
Care plan development: Based on the consultation, our team collaborates with you to create a tailored care plan. This plan outlines the type and frequency of support required, ensuring all aspects of daily living and personal care are addressed. ​
Care professional matching: We carefully select a care professional whose skills, experience, and personality align with your needs and preferences. Our aim is to foster a trusting and comfortable relationship between clients and carers. ​
Commencement of care: Once the care plan is agreed upon and a suitable care professional is chosen, care begins at a time convenient for you. Our services are flexible, ranging from short visits to 24/7 live-in care, adapting to your evolving needs. ​

Ann’s Case Study
Ann had a learning disability but lived fairly independently at home. Recently her family had been concerned that she wasn’t managing as well as she used to. They wanted someone to come to her apartment and help with household tasks and meal preparation.
After an initial assessment with Ann, GoodOaks we were able to understand her general concerns and areas of need. We matched her with Francesca who assisted her with day to day tasks.
After initially having a care professional in to visit once a day. Ann slowly regained her confidence around the home and has since reduced her care visits to twice a week.Â
“ GoodOaks have really boosted her confidence and given her the help she needs to remain happy living and independently at home”

What’s different about disability homecare vs. regular homecare?
While regular homecare provides support with daily tasks such as washing, dressing, and meals, disability homecare is more tailored to meet the specific needs of individuals living with physical or learning disabilities.
Disability homecare often involves a more personalised approach, adapting support around mobility challenges, communication needs, sensory preferences, and long-term goals for independence. It can include help with specialist equipment, therapy routines, or supporting someone to attend work, college, or social activities.
Our care professionals offering disability support are trained to provide consistent, respectful assistance that empowers individuals to live life on their own terms, with as much independence as possible. The focus is on ability, not limitation, making sure care fits seamlessly into each person’s lifestyle, rather than the other way around.
Whether support is needed occasionally or around the clock, disability homecare recognises that no two people, or care journeys, are ever the same.
