Francis House Homecare provides high quality care to people who need support to maintain independent lives at home. Our live-in care services in Kempston are founded on professional skills, kindness and compassion. For this reason we match our support staff carefully to clients, in order that a relationship based on trust can develop over time.
Our care plans are created with the input of our clients and are tailored to each individual. They reflect the level of service required to ensure that our client’s needs are met. We also carry out a risk assessment. This is monitored and adjustments are made where it becomes necessary.
What is Live-In Care?
Live-in care provides the very best support for people wishing to be cared for in familiar surroundings. The services provided by Francis House live-in carers in Kempston will be different for each person. A client may need help with simple household tasks such as cleaning, shopping or cooking meals. Alternatively, more complex care may be required, such as medication management, dementia care or PEG feeding.
Our live in care in Kempston is tailored to the needs of each individual, and their family. It could be short-term to allow family carers a break, or part of a care schedule provided by friends and family.
Person-Centred Care
Person-centred care, also known as personalised care, places the individual at the heart of the services being offered. Francis House Homecare employees recognise and respect the individuality of everyone we work with; we take into account their achievements, their background, and their aspirations. The people we care for are supported in the present as we help them to plan for their future.
“That is the essence of personalisation – tailoring care and support to what individuals choose as a means of helping them to live their normal life. People don’t want to be defined by their condition – they are not “suffering from dementia” or “autistic” or “subject to multiple co-morbidities”. They are, first and foremost, individuals with very personal hopes, fears, aspirations and relationships.” Voice, Choice & Control
End of Life and Palliative Care
Our aim with end of life care is to ensure that we fulfil the wishes of the person we are caring for. We provide live-in palliative care to support individuals, and offer them the very best quality of life up until the end. We work in collaboration with district nurses, the continuing healthcare team and PEPS, the Partnership for Excellence in Palliative Support.
Our Live-In Care services for Kempston provides families with a strong support structure at an extremely emotional time. Having someone who will take care of practical tasks in the home allows the family to spend time with their loved one, and make the most the time they have with them.
