Good Oaks Home Care Wimbledon and Kingston

Everything about personal care is tailored around you – because Good Oaks is actively involved in managing your care, carers follow a comprehensive care plan based around you, your needs and wishes. We always ensure that every individual receiving personal care is treated with the utmost respect and receives support in a dignified manner. Our care teams will always ensure the best possible care services for you or your loved one.

Personal carers can help with:

• Prescription ordering and collection
• Medication administration and management
• Getting up, washed and dressed
• Cooking healthy home cooked meals
• Light household duties
• Companionship

For many of our clients, all that is required is an extra helping hand around the house to enable them to remain living comfortably and independently.

Our household and domestic services include:

• General household cleaning
• Housekeeping duties e.g. changing bed linen
• Laundry and ironing
• Shopping for weekly groceries
• Support with meal planning and preparation
• Prescription collection
• Assistance with pets

Companionship carers help clients who are feeling lonely or worried about being home alone, or are struggling with cooking, cleaning, and other household duties.

For those whose independence is important to them, companionship carers offer peace of mind, so you can keep living the life you want, knowing there is always back-up on hand if needed.

The one-to-one nature of live-in care means that real, lasting and enabling relationships can form between you and your carer. They can help not only with the daily basics, but the little things that allow you to start loving being at home again. This could be trips out, visiting friends or loved ones to increase social contact, or helping you to do the hobbies you used to enjoy.

Companionship carers know when they’re needed and when they are not, so are as involved as little or as much as required.

Companionship carers can be organised in response to an illness, fall, hospital stay or other event, and can either be temporary or more permanent.

Companionship carers can help with:

• Providing company and reassurance
• Cooking healthy home cooked meals
• Completing general household duties, including laundry
• Looking after pets
• Ensuring the property is kept safe ie. locking doors and windows and ensuring electrical appliances and gas is turned off
