Home Care Services in Gateshead

We will visit you and give you a free assessment in which we will chat with you to determine the level of support that you would like such as help with everyday tasks, cooking, cleaning, getting dressed, mobility etc. We will explain the costs and give you a timeframe to get your support in place.

We try our very best to supply staff who live close to the clients that we support. We have already provided care successfully to people in some very remote locations in and around Gateshead, such as Harperley Iveston and Lamesley, amongst others. Please call us and let us see how we can help.

Our key aim is to have a continuity of care with CareCompanions™ who are carefully matched to you at all times. There may be occasions when other carers have to be involved but they will be similarly suited to give you the high levels of home care and support that you want.

We will visit you and discuss the short-term care that you require so that we can arrange to provide the right care for as long as you would like it.

No, there are no limitations to the type of home care and domiciliary care support we provide. As we are regulated by the CQC, we can provide support and personal care no matter how complex your relatives’ care requirements might be. We provide live-in care for all sorts of people with all kinds of issues, such as physical disabilities and dementia. Speak to us and we will tell you how we can help.

It may be that there is a change in your health which requires less or more care or something simple like a modification to your diet: you can always arrange to meet your Care Manager who will be happy to discuss any changes you would like to make to your care package.

Yes, you can. We respect your wishes as to whether a male or female carer would be better for you, to make you feel more comfortable and maintain your dignity.

We have care providers based in Gateshead and throughout the North East region and are always looking to recruit more who are able to match our high standards.

A live-in carer will need a bedroom of their own with a bed, bed linen, wardrobe and chest of drawers, in order to store their belongings for the duration of their stay. They will share other facilities as necessary. Internet access would be ideal in the modern world that we live in.

There are many people who are healthy and active but live alone and feel lonely or isolated. They want to continue living in their own home but don’t have regular contact with other people. Companion care gives structured contact for an agreed amount of time with someone who is honest, reliable and shares common interests.

Dementia care is helping someone suffering from dementia to get the most out of their life. This will mean assessing their capabilities and encouraging them to follow a daily routine involving bathing, dressing, eating, socialising and taking part in appropriate activities. Well-trained dementia carers assist sufferers to continue living in their own home and give reassurance to family and friends that they are safe.

We will always discuss the duration of respite care with the individual and surrounding family before it begins and agree how long it should be. If that changes for any reason we will discuss and arrange that with you as necessary.
