Much More Than a Helping Hand: The Many Facets of In-Home Care

When people think of in-home care, they often picture someone popping by to help with meals or tidy up around the house. But the reality is so much more.  

The best in-home care is about supporting independence, dignity, and well-being—helping people live their best lives in the comfort of their own homes.  

At United for Care, we provide a wide range of in-home care services designed to meet diverse needs, from help with day-to-day living to support with complex care needs. Let’s take a closer look at everything that’s on offer.

‍

In-Home Care

In-home care is all about making daily life easier, safer, and more fulfilling. Whether it’s a little extra help with personal care, specialised medical support, or simply having a friendly face around, these services are designed to provide comfort and independence in familiar surroundings.

Assistance with Self Care

Daily tasks like showering, dressing, and grooming can sometimes become tricky. Our assistance with self-care ensures that people receive the support they need while maintaining their independence and dignity. Whether it's help with mobility, personal hygiene, or managing medications, our compassionate team is there every step of the way.

Complex Care

Some people require specialized medical support at home. Complex care includes assistance with PEG feeding, catheter care, wound management, and other advanced health needs. Our skilled support workers and nurses work closely with individuals and their healthcare teams to ensure the highest level of care and comfort.

Mental Health Support

Mental health matters just as much as physical well-being. Our mental health support services help people manage anxiety, depression, and other conditions, offering companionship, coping strategies, and practical support for daily life. We believe in a holistic approach—one that nurtures both mind and body.

Trauma-Informed Care

For those who have experienced trauma, a trauma-informed approach is essential. Our support workers are trained to provide care that is safe, empowering, and sensitive to the complexities of people’s histories. We focus on building trust and creating a supportive environment that respects unique needs and personal experiences.

Respite & Overnight Care

Caring for a loved one can be rewarding, but it also requires breaks. Our respite care gives family caregivers time to recharge, knowing their loved ones are in safe, experienced hands. We also offer overnight support, ensuring continuous care for those who need it, whether due to medical conditions, disability, or personal preference.

Household Tasks

A clean, well-organised home makes all the difference in daily life. Our support with household tasks includes assistance with cooking, cleaning, laundry, and other chores, helping people maintain a safe and comfortable living space, and ensuring their home feels like home.

Community Programs

In-home care isn’t just about what happens inside four walls—it’s also about staying connected to the world outside. That’s why our community programs are designed to help people engage with their surroundings, build connections, and enjoy meaningful experiences.

One-on-One Community Support

Everyone needs a helping hand sometimes. Our one-on-one community support service helps people get out and about, whether it’s attending an appointment, running errands, or simply enjoying a day at the park. Having a dedicated support worker means you can confidently participate in daily activities with the right level of assistance.

Group Programs

There’s nothing like being part of a community. Our group programs bring people together for shared activities, hobbies, and outings. Whether it’s an art class, a cooking workshop, or a day trip, these programs offer social engagement, a break from the norm, and opportunities for personal growth.

Social Connection

Loneliness can take a toll on well-being. Our in-home care services focus on social connection and aim to keep people stimulated and engaged. Sometimes, just having a friendly support worker to share a cup of tea with can make all the difference.

Health & Wellbeing

Good health isn’t just about doctor’s visits—it’s about an overall sense of well-being. Our health and well-being programs focus on fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, and self-care, helping people lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Independence

True independence comes from having the right support at the right time. Whether it's learning new skills, gaining confidence in public settings, or managing daily responsibilities, our in-home care services empower people to live life on their own terms.

Community Access & Support

Being part of the wider community enriches life in countless ways. Our community access and support services help individuals engage in local events, join clubs, volunteer, and enjoy recreational activities. We make it easier to be part of something bigger.
