‘Outstanding’ rated bespoke care at home
While it’s normal that our older loved ones need extra care and support to live well, it doesn’t mean they have to give up the home and community they love.
Bespoke home care not only allows elderly people to continue living independently in the comfort of their home, but it also offers a level of personalised one-to-one care that is difficult to match with any other type of elderly care.
What is bespoke home care?
Bespoke home care, sometimes called personalised home care, describes professional care that is tailored to the client’s needs and wishes and delivered in the comfort of their home.
Person-centred care is an approach to social and health care that puts the clients needs, wishes and dignity at the forefront of care provided to them. This means the person receiving care decides what is best for them and how the care should be delivered.
At Trinity Homecare, our bespoke home care services are passionately person-centred. Focusing on the client’s dignity and personal wishes enables us to provide bespoke home care that is tailored to the individual and promotes their autonomy, dignity and independence.
Bespoke home care can greatly improve the well-being and safety of your loved one, allowing them to make the most of their retirement years by allowing them to continue living in the comfort and familiar surroundings of their own home.
How bespoke home care works
Bespoke home care, by definition, is tailored to each individual. The types of care available from Trinity Homecare are varied and flexible, allowing all of our clients to find the type of home care that suits their individual needs.
Before any home care is put in place, part of our bespoke home care service involves a free, at-home care needs assessment. The purpose of the assessment is to record and understand the client’s needs, wishes and preferences so that we can deliver care tailored to their lifestyle.
The outcome of the care needs assessment is used to inform the client’s bespoke care plan. The care plan details what the client needs and wants and how this will be delivered. The care plan is a living document that is used by care professionals and updated regularly to reflect the client’s bespoke care needs, wishes and preferences.
The care plan and other healthcare professionals involved in a person’s care work with the client to identify the most suitable type of bespoke home care that fits their needs and wishes.
Types of bespoke care at home
At Trinity Homecare, we offer a wide range of specialised and professional bespoke home care services. From temporary visiting care all the way through to long-term live-in care for complex health needs.
Bespoke home care is not just for older people. It is for any person who needs extra support to live well at home. Whether temporary respite care to cover for an existing caregiver or reablement care to aid recovery after a bout of illness or a hospital stay, Trinity Homecare can tailor care to be as personalised as needed.
Other common types of bespoke home care include postoperative care, which is usually temporary while a person recovers their strength and independence, and companionship care for those who live alone and need some level of care, support and friendship to live life to the full.
For more complex health needs, we offer dementia care, complex health care, 24-hour care, overnight care, palliative care – and more. Clients can choose to have care on an hourly visiting care basis with as few or as many visits per day or per week as needed. Alternatively, we offer live-in care for clients who need full-time support. In some cases, clients need overnight care also, which ensures that a professional carer is on shift and awake for nighttime care and support needs.
Offering a wide range of bespoke home care services that are easily adaptable means that our clients get exactly the care that they want when they want it. As needs change, so does the care that we deliver, in a seamless way, to create continuity of care for the client.
The benefits of bespoke home care
Because bespoke home care is delivered in the place our clients love the most – their home, and because our home care service is 100% personalised to each person’s individual needs, there are very few disadvantages.
There are, however, numerous benefits, which include:
The quality of one-to-one personalised home care, companionship and support is unrivalled by residential care homes, where carers have to divide their time between many clients. Bespoke home care provides complete continuity of care by carers who know and respect you.
The vast majority of people say that they want to remain living at home when they are elderly as opposed to moving into residential care. Home really is where the heart is, surrounded by memories, loved ones, pets and a neighbourhood community that gives a sense of sanctuary and belonging.
Home care provides peace of mind not only to the elderly person living alone but also to their family. It’s especially helpful for families who do not live near their older loved ones. A professional carer can keep an eye on an elderly person’s welfare and provide feedback to the family, keeping them informed and letting them know if there are any issues or changes in their loved one’s life.
A common misconception is that home care is one of the more expensive care options for the elderly. Each person and their care needs are unique, but often, home care is very cost-effective and can be cheaper than residential alternatives. This is especially true for couples care and visiting care.
Bespoke home care with Trinity is flexible and adaptable. There are no hidden costs and no sneaky contracts tying you in. As your circumstances or care needs change, so does your home care. We offer versatile care that can be adapted quickly and seamlessly, ensuring continuity of care for our clients.
What our clients say about bespoke home care with Trinity
Trinity Homecare has been delivering exceptionally high-quality home care throughout the UK for over 25 years.
We have been awarded the highest rating of ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) which regulates the home care industry in England. only 4% of home care providers achieve this rating, something we are very proud of. But don’t take our word for it; here are some of our most recent reviews from the independent review website Trustpilot:
“Trinity Homecare looked after my lovely Mum for the last 22 months of her life. The care they gave her was exceptional; in fact my husband and I said it was ‘gold standard’, and largely down to the quality of the staff they employ – carers who are well-trained, great at problem-solving, compassionate, friendly yet professional and really do care deeply about their clients.
Over her last five years and many times in and out of hospital, we had experienced various other care agencies visiting Mum and some were good and others not so good, but none of them were as good as the Trinity Homecare agency. They work as a team, taking particular care of the clients’ wishes, but also building good relationships with the family too. There are regular reviews to check how things are going, and tweak the care plan as required. The wonderful ladies who visited my Mum felt like friends to her, always brought a smile to her face, and were such a support to me too as I sat with Mum in her final weeks.
When the CHC for end-of-life began, it was seamless – it was a blessing to us that Mum was able get her wish of remaining in her own home and having her much-loved familiar carers with her right to the end. People she trusted and felt comfortable with, rather than strangers. Their knowledge and experience is second to none. I have no hesitation in recommending Trinity to anyone who is looking for great care at home for their relative or friend.”
