At Greenwood Homecare, we believe that physical disability shouldn’t be a barrier to enjoying a full and varied life. We offer a range of ways to support people who experience minor or extensive physical limitations.

Living with a physical disability can be challenging for individuals and their families, especially if as a result of a sudden injury or illness. Adapting to a new way of life can feel overwhelming and it can be hard to know where to begin.

Our experienced carers are here to help you continue living the life you want, with the reassurance that help is on hand when you need it.

Disability support at home

We are highly experienced with a range of different physical disabilities and can support you whatever the type or extent of your needs. This can range from light touch visiting care for a few hours a day, to specialist disability support involving aids and other equipment.

Our services include:

Preparing meals

Help getting around the house

Help with washing, dressing and toileting

Your personalised support system

We understand that no two people are the same and that a physical disability can impact someone in many different ways. We tailor our care plans to your unique situation and preferences and continually adapt them to ensure they meet your needs.

Our carers carry out every service with the utmost care and ensure clients are always treated with dignity and compassion. Living with a physical disability can make it harder to get out and socialise. Our home care services also provide valuable emotional support and companionship.

If you’d like to learn more about our care services, contact us today and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Caring for someone with a physical disability

Some people with a physical disability can live independently with minimal support, while those with complex needs may need more specialist care. We take the time to fully understand your care needs and will regularly review your care plan with you as you progress.

We believe that the best care for disabled people empowers them to be as independent as possible. We will encourage you to live life the way you want, with the peace of mind that specialist support is on hand.

If you are caring for a loved one with a disability, it can be tempting to do everything for them to help them out or speed things up. Allowing them to take ownership as much as possible helps to build self esteem and maintain independence.

An experienced visiting carer will also look out for any changes in their clients that might indicate a deterioration in their health, helping to spot early signs of illness.

24-hour disability care

If you or a loved one has complex care needs or more severe symptoms, live-in care allows you to stay living in your own home while ensuring your health and wellbeing needs are met.

A live-in carer will be available to provide round the clock support. From preparing meals and keeping on top of household chores, to personal care and specialist medical support, our carers can provide compassionate assistance and companionship.

Types of personal care

Our personal care plans are flexible to meet your needs, whether that’s a drop-in visit a few times a week or 24/7 live-in care. When discussing your care plan with you, we will take the time to understand your unique circumstances and the type of care that is right for you.

Visiting care involves your carer popping by for as little as half an hour. This type of care is helpful if you need assistance with specific activities or simply the peace of mind that someone is checking in. Longer visits can also be arranged if you require support throughout the day.

Night care ensures that you or a loved one can access the support you need overnight. A night carer can help with continence management, preventing falls or assisting with medication. They can also support with morning or nighttime routines.

If your loved one is living with Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, they may have complex care and emotional needs. Our highly trained carers are experienced in supporting people with the unique challenges of Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, putting the safety, comfort and dignity of the individual first.

If you or a loved one is recovering from a fall, illness or operation, you may need reablement care while you get back on your feet. Our carers can help with medical needs and staying on top of things around the house. They also offer support and encouragement to build confidence and help you feel like yourself again.

Respite care allows carers to take a break, preventing carer burnout and offering variation to the person in their care. Respite care can be arranged for a day at a time or for several weeks.

Carers that care as much as you do

We know how difficult it can be to make decisions about care for a loved one. That’s why we are committed to hiring dedicated, empathetic carers who can make a real difference to the lives of the people they support. Our carers don’t simply provide assistance, but will support and empower your loved one to live as independently as possible.

From building your care plan, to each care visit, we take the time to understand your needs and ensure we are providing the very best care. Our friendly and dependable team are here to answer any questions you may have and are flexible to adapt your care plan as your needs change.
