HOME & HOUSE KEEPING

Daily support to help keep the house a home

It is often the most simple of things that make the biggest difference, and we know from experience that receiving that extra bit of help around the home makes the world of difference to an individual’s wellbeing.

Our home help and housekeeping service is aimed at providing a helping hand with daily duties, light housekeeping, tidying up and general domestic maintenance of the home environment to enable your loved one to stay independent at home for as long possible.

For older people and vulnerable adults living at home, having a clean and tidy environment can have huge benefits on quality of life and happiness. We all know that when we do a spring-clean we feel lifted, lighter and happier in our surroundings – this is what Halcyon Care can bring to the lives of those who access our services. Whether its practical things around the home like cooking and cleaning, or just providing a friendly face every so often to those living alone, our home help and housekeeping service ensures time is freed up for your loved one to spend it doing the things they love most. Time is such a precious thing, it’s something we can never get back.

We understand that everybody likes to do things in their own particular way, especially in their own home. Our Care Specialists will thoroughly get to know your loved one and understand their preferences and requirements. We tailor each of our services specifically around the individual, always providing familiar support that your love one may need. You can rest-assured that visits from our Care Specialists provide all the domestic help required to ensure your loved one’s home is hygienic and safe.

Domestic Duties

At the best of times, most of us find it difficult to maintain the domestic duties of the home. As we get older, the demands of domestic duties can become too much to manage. At Halcyon Care we have a team of people who thrive when performing domestic duties and are well equipped to provide this support and ensure that all the necessary household tasks are carried out to a high standard.

Whether it is help with the cleaning around the home, or help making a cup of tea – our Care Specialists will always be there for your loved one, whatever the request.

Our priority is ensuring the home environment is safe and clean in order to maintain a happy and enjoyable living space and give your loved one the freedom to choose how they spend their time.

At Halcyon Care we pride ourselves in going ‘Above and Beyond’, always, ensuring that physical and emotional support is there for your loved one. Our domestic care services include all sorts of essential, as well as non-essential tasks around the house.

Our home help and housekeeping services include:

- Lightweight housework – A clean, tidy house always feels comfortable and inviting. Our Care Specialists can help with any light day-to-day housework to ensure the living environment remains a cosy and safe place to relax.

- Daily cleaning – This includes tasks such as dusting, cleaning surfaces, mopping, sanitising appliances, tidying areas and putting items away.

- Laundry – Keeping on top of laundry can really enhance quality of life and mental health in the home. Our Care Specialists can help with gathering laundry, washing, hanging out to dry, and putting clothes away so the laundry never builds up to an unmanageable pile.

- Ironing – Ironing can be quite a demanding physical exercise, our Care Specialists take care of the ironing, or assist where appropriate, so that your loved one has more time to focus on doing things they love around their home.

- Hoovering / Vacuuming – However frequent it may be needed, hoovering around the whole home can be done to ensure a clean, clear and safe environment.

- Taking bins out – We can help to ensure bins are taken out for collection on time every week and but fresh liners in all bins around the home.

- Stripping and making the bed – For our clients with reduced mobility it can be increasingly challenging to tend to making the bed. Our Care Specialists will schedule stripping the bed into regular visits, cleaning the bedding and remaking it with fresh sheets to ensure for quality sleep and comfort.

- Organising shelves, cupboards and food storage – We find organisation in the kitchen can really help with enhanced memory and routine. We can help make things accessible and arrange items in a practical way for ease of use around the kitchen.
