What is visiting care?

  • Care tailored around you and your established routines
  • Flexible Visits – From 30mins a week to multiple times a day
  • Receive high-quality care while staying in familiar surroundings
  • Families can rest assured knowing their loved ones are supported by trained professionals

Visiting homecare provides support for individuals who need assistance while continuing to live independently in their own homes.

A trained care professional visits at scheduled times to provide essential help and companionship. They can help with tasks such as meal preparation, housework, personal care, shopping, medical administration and much more.

Visiting care is a popular choice for people who value their independence but need a little extra help with daily tasks. Care is planned around your lifestyle and routines, giving you the support you need while remaining in the comfort and familiarity of your own home.

Visiting Homecare FAQ’s

Homecare visits are designed for people needing assistance with day to day tasks at home, but are still independent enough to stay in their own home, rather than moving to a care home. You can arrange regular care visits at a time which fits into your routine, so our care professionals can be there when you wake up to help you get dressed, or to help you with making dinner in the evening. Homecare visits are designed to be flexible, so whether you need daily or weekly visits, visiting homecare can be built around your lifestyle.

With GoodOaks Homecare, you can always be sure of a safe, secure and trustworthy service. You and your loved ones will meet with your care professional before the care begins, so you know who you will be dealing with. Each of our care professionals carries an identity card so that you can easily identify them on arrival. They always knock on your door and announce they are coming in, and they take confidentiality issues such as key safe codes incredibly seriously, so your security will never be breached. We have processes in place which ensure our care professionals know what to do if they can’t access your house, or if you have had an accident and need medical help.
