SOME OF OUR SERVICES

Personal Care

A personal care service is delivered by a team of qualified care staff. You can rest assured that they will assist you by following the agreed care plan and respect your choices and decisions. We offer bathing, washing, dressing and hair care. We offer assistance from getting you up and ready in a morning straight through to putting you to bed at night. For maximum comfort and safety, we are committed to ensuring and providing all our staff, are fully trained to use the latest moving and handling equipment.

Assisting with Meals

Good nutrition is important for people at every stage of their life if they want to stay healthy. ASK4CARE provide a meal service to cover any times required, ranging from breakfast time straight through to bed time. Our care workers are fully trained to prepare and serve meals. They'll stay with you to either offer encouragement or even help the client eat, ensuring they have a decent meal and - equally important - stay properly hydrated.

Sitting Service

Our sitting service can be tailored to exactly the length you require. We can provide cover on a regular daily basis or it can be organised on an ad-hoc basis so a main carer can attend an appointment or meeting. Should your spouse or family member simply require a sitting service for some time out or to cover time away this too can be booked and arranged with ease.

Night Service

This can be provided by way of night staff who will provide care and support throughout the whole night, staying awake to ensure that the individual being cared for is fully attended to or night staff who simply need to be in the property to ensure the individual requiring the sitting service is not alone. Should you require a sitting service and the carer is able to sleep through the night whilst providing this service, all we ask is that the carer is provided with a separate sleeping area within call of the person being cared for. They will respond to any calls during the night, providing you and the person being cared for with peace of mind and reassurance.

Home from Hospital

To provide extra support just when it is needed to help early discharge and ease the transition of being back at home. Everybody's needs are very different and we will provide a service that is tailored to your specific requirements, once again with a full assessment of the needs and tailor a bespoke service for the individual. The care and support teams at ASK4CARE will be able to provide services, to suit all requirements.

Medication Prompt

If agreed at assessment that the care will include such things as a medication prompt we are happy to tailor this within your care package to your individual needs. We will ensure that your loved ones or even yourself don’t miss any vital medication times and assist in prompting the medication to maintain the standard of good health we would wish for ourselves at all times are delivered. All we ask is that all medication is dispensed by a Pharmacist and placed within a dosette box within your home to allow our team to prompt medication confidently.
