Everything you need to know about Home care
Although there are differences, both home care and home healthcare have the same goal: to keep your loved ones safe and as healthy as possible. They often work in tandem. For example, a home healthcare nurse or physician’s assistant may visit the home and adjust prescriptions, while a non-medical caregiver makes sure these medications are taken correctly. Home care fills the gap between people needing medically skilled services and people who need non-medical companionship and help around the house.
Is your loved one fairly active and mobile, or do they need someone to assist them throughout the day? A personalized home care plan is built based on the unique needs of your situation. Hexgon West provides home care services for seniors and other adults, from a few hours a day to 24/7 care and live-in services.
The most common way to pay for home care is private pay. But certain home care services may be covered by long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, public programs such as Medicaid, and some Medicare Advantage plans.
Hexgon West offers companion care and personal care services, as well as respite care, dementia care and a variety of specialty care services. Request a personalized price quote today and learn more about how your loved one can benefit from our home care services.
It could depend on the type of care that is needed. At Hexgon West, our priority is to listen and get a better understanding of your needs. From there, we schedule an in-home visit to discuss the type of care required and answer any additional questions. Once a client agreement is signed, we determine a start date and make a personal introduction to your caregiver.
While we deliver care in private residences, we also provide home care services in a variety of other settings, including senior living communities, rehabilitation facilities and hospice settings.
Everything you need to know about Domiciliary care
Domiciliary care is for anyone who wants to remain at home but could use a little extra help to do so safely and happily. It could be an elderly parent who needs assistance with mobility, someone recovering from an illness, or a person with a long-term condition who values their independence. Everyone deserves to feel secure and supported in their own home, and domiciliary care makes that possible.
Domiciliary care is as unique as the people it supports. Some may need just a friendly face and a helping hand with housekeeping, while others might require more personal or complex care. It can range from short visits throughout the week to round-the-clock live-in care. Whatever the need, the goal remains the same: to help people live comfortably in the place they love most.
The cost of domiciliary care can be covered in different ways, depending on individual circumstances. Some people pay privately, while others may be eligible for financial support from local councils or government programs. It’s always a good idea to check what funding options might be available to ease the cost.
There’s no place like home, and domiciliary care allows people to stay in familiar surroundings while receiving the support they need. It promotes independence, provides one-on-one personalised care, and offers emotional comfort by keeping people close to their loved ones and routines. Plus, it helps build meaningful relationships between Care Experts and those they support, ensuring that care feels personal, not clinical.
Domiciliary care covers a wide range of services, all tailored to the individual. This can include help with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, companionship, housekeeping, and even support with hobbies and social activities. It’s about making daily life easier and more enjoyable while maintaining independence.
