Care at Home
Supporting you to live independently in your own home.
A change in mobility or confidence can happen gradually over years, or suddenly following an illness or injury. It can be hard to know when it’s time to look into home care, and where to start. At Greenwood Homecare, we are here to guide you through this process and help you or your loved one get the support they need.
Home care, or visiting care, is when a professional carer visits a client in their home to provide support. This could be help getting washed, dressed and ready for the day, preparing healthy meals and having a chat, or specialised medical support.
Receiving care at home from our highly trained carers can have an enormous positive impact on someone’s quality of life. It allows you to receive tailored, one-to-one support without having to compromise your lifestyle and routines.
Flexible care on your terms
Care at home is completely flexible to your needs and means you can continue living in your own home for longer, with friends and family close by. You can arrange for regular or one-off visits ranging from 30 minutes to round-the-clock support. No care need is too big or small, so please get in touch if you think you or your loved one could benefit from this service.
It starts with a care assessment, where we will take the time to understand your unique needs and preferences. We will create your personalised care plan that includes the time and length of your visits and the support you would like. We match our clients with carers who are experienced in supporting their needs and who are a great personality fit too.

We aim to promote independence as much as possible and prioritise our clients’ happiness and comfort. You may benefit from the support of a home carer if:
Our home care services range from light touch support to 24/7 live-in care, so whatever your personal circumstances, we can create a care plan to suit you.
