Homecare, or Domiciliary care, benefits people by letting you be in control of your care and support within your own home. It helps you maintain your independence in the comfort of your own home, at a reasonable price.

As per Regulation 19 of the CQC’s Fundamental Standards, before any of the staff can start caring in the community they are subjected to an Enhanced DBS check, an extensive induction that covers many training requirements and satisfactory references. We also ensure that all our staff members complete the mandatory Care Certificate within their first 12 weeks of working at Holy Spirit Home Care.

The words “loneliness” and “social isolation” are often used interchangeably, but loneliness is not the same as social isolation. People can be isolated (alone) yet not feel lonely. People can feel lonely and yet be surrounded by people. The difference between these two concepts is important for the design of services and support for older people. At Holy Spirit Home Care all of our Community Care Workers offer person-centred care and support to minimise feeling “lonely”, and with our diverse team, we are sure we can find the right “fit” for you.

We can promote you attending social events, or groups. We also can offer sitting at home and helping you with your hobbies, whether that is completing crosswords or jigsaws, and knitting or sewing.

This list is not extensive but some of the training we offer to ensure quality is; Safeguarding, Infection Control, Moving and Handling, First Aid, Medication Administration, Health and Safety, Fire Safety, Diet & Nutrition, Food Safety, Equality & Diversity and The Mental Capacity Act.

Firstly, we want to send our apology, whilst we endeavour to always reach our Service User’s home within 30 minutes of their allocated call time, this is not always possible. Unfortunately on occasion we may be running late and this could be for many reasons, we may have had to cover staff sickness, there may have been an emergency at another service user’s home or there may even been roadworks/traffic. If in the case that your staff member is running late, please contact the office at 01909 489489.
