Types of care
Putting our clients first and giving them the best possible care is our number one priority. We understand that each individual is different so we make sure that we listen to each of our client’s requirements and tailor our services to their needs.
At Melody Care we have developed our services to meet the needs of those in our community. From daily home care visits to full-time live-in care, we are able to offer exactly what our clients need to live independent lives in their own homes.
Whether you are looking on behalf of a loved one or for yourself, we can advise on the best type care package to suit your needs.
Home Care
Home care, sometimes known as hourly care, refers to a range of care that we can offer our clients both in terms of length of visits to regularity of visits.
Companion Care
Perhaps your loved one would like to go to the shops, complete a craft project or simply enjoy a cup of tea and a chat? Melody Care can make this possible.
Respite Care
Respite care is a short-term care provision, often for a week or two, while your usual carer has a break, or after a hospital stay or emergency.
Live-in Care
Live-in Care is when a professional and trained carer lives with you in your home supporting you with your day-to-day needs, day and night.
We understand that your family member has had a life before us and the majority of our clients have had incredibly exciting careers and adventures. We will look after them with the respect and dignity they truly deserve, and pride ourselves on bringing out the best in your loved one.
We aim to bring back simple pleasures to their life. We will devise a personalised care plan which is workable for you and your loved one – sometimes it may be as simple as a cup of tea and a chat, or a walk in the local park. At Melody Care, you have our assurance that we will match the best Professional Carer to your individual needs.
I cannot express my gratitude enough for the consistent, reliable care my mother receives from the team at Melody Care. Their care has enabled my mother to stay in her home which is where she wants to be.
Why choose Melody Care?
At Melody Care, we meticulously check every carer, giving you the reassurance that your family member will be given the best professional support. Our Professional Carers join our team because they have a genuine desire to bring out the best in our clients, helping them gain a higher degree of independence in their own home.
All of our dedicated team of Professional Carers are familiar with the area and live within a 15 mile radius of their client’s home.
Once your family member has been assigned their trusted team of Professional Carers, these will be the carers they will see on a regular basis. We feel this is essential for continuity of care, not only helping your loved one bond with their carers, but more importantly, avoiding the disruption and uncertainty of new carers visiting.
We appreciate all of our carers and strongly believe this care is then reciprocated back to our clients. Some of our carers have been with us since we began in 2010.
At Melody Care, it’s not the case that one size fits all. We treat all of our clients as individuals by providing a tailored care plan to suit their needs.
At Melody Care, we want to know what makes your loved one happy. From playing a board game to walking the dog, we can help. Small acts of kindness and attention to detail can make a huge difference to their quality of life.
We spend time matching the right Professional Hourly Carer to your family member, so if our client craves home-made food, we will choose a carer who enjoys cooking. This may also be the perfect opportunity for the carer to sit down with the client, prepare a weekly meal plan, followed by a shopping trip. These activities connect your loved-one to the outside world as well as alleviating loneliness, which can be incredibly debilitating.
This is what we do best. Nothing is too much trouble. If you have a request for your relative, we will do our utmost to help, giving you peace of mind.
At Melody Care, we all want what’s best for you and your valued loved one. We hope you will regard our friendly Professional Carers as being an extension of your own family.
Our Professional Carers can visit at a time convenient to your family member. We can discuss the regularity and number of hours they spend with your loved one, depending on their needs.
