About Herts Homecare
Herts Homecare is not part of a large organisation or a franchise network. We are a family-run local care and support service. Our management and staff team have great passion and genuinely care for the service we deliver to our local community.
Care on Your Terms
Research has shown that most people, given the choice, would rather stay in the comfort and surroundings of their own homes as opposed to going into residential care. Our aim is to provide personalised care packages, carefully tailored to individual needs. This enables our service users to remain in their homes for as long as possible. We will endeavour to meet service user’s needs with particular sensitivity to race, religion, cultural background and personal preference.
Who is Herts Homecare?
Herts Homecare prides itself in providing of high-quality relationship-led support and care for elderly people in their own homes.
We pride ourselves on being at the forefront of the home care industry and have been providing specialist homecare and support for our residents and their families for many years. Our overall aim in this is to allow our clients to age with grace, dignity, and respect in familiar surroundings. We know that what we do is personal. That’s why we provide completely individualized home care plans that are flexible and personally tailored to every individual we care for, with the ability to adapt your care plan as your needs and preferences change.
Because of the quality of our services, the people we care for are able to enjoy a comfortable, happy, and independent life at home for as long as possible, with the reassurance that when they need us, we’ll always be there.
What are the benefits of home care?
We understand that considering homecare for yourself or a loved one is an incredibly personal and potentially daunting thought, and we’re here to help. At Herts Homecare, we believe employing someone to offer assistance and companionship shouldn’t simply be about reacting to a situation or sudden development, but should be focused on those we care for having a choice and the ability to dictate the level of care that’s appropriate for them. Homecare isn’t about having someone hovering around just in case something goes wrong. It’s about planning ahead, preparation, and enabling people to continue the lifestyle they choose and enjoy for as long as possible, with a helping hand there should it be needed!
All too often, the “care conversation” comes after an accident in the home or with the diagnosis of an illness that suddenly puts the fragility of an aging individual into question. We believe these conversations usually end in rushed or unsuitable care decisions.
A recent study showed that approximately 71% of people would prefer to grow old in their own homes, but unfortunately due to rushed care plans this is so frequently ignored.
We believe that by addressing the care requirements of an aging individual before the ‘worst case’ happens, we can establish just the right levels of support to put in place, so that your loved ones have the help they need before it’s needed and are able to stay safe in their own homes.
Quality Assurance
We regularly obtain staff and service user feedback to ensure that our high standards are met at all times. We are constantly evolving our services and informational resources and bringing on board relevant new technology as and when it becomes available, in order to make sure we are delivering a quality of service to our customers which is second to none.
How is Herts Homecare different?
At Herts Homecare, we don’t waste time trying to figure out a ‘one size fits all’ approach to homecare. Just as no two people are identical, we believe the levels of support, assistance, and even simple companionship required by any individual should be as unique as they are.
We like to spend time getting to know our clients and their families to establish the homecare that’s suitable based on their needs and personal preferences. This way, nobody feels intruded on or as though their independence is being taken away. We’re here to help, not hinder, and support you as you enjoy the next stages of life.
We offer a hugely wide-ranging selection of services to suit just about anyone who asks for our help. Starting from simply lending a hand with grocery shopping to assisting with personal tasks such as bathing or dressing when mobility becomes an issue, preparing nutritious and tasty meals, or just being a confidant when you need someone to talk to, we’re prepared to be as involved as required.
Not only are all our homecare plans completely tailored to your needs and the needs of your loved ones, but we’re also experts in caring for people with life-changing or long-term illnesses including dementia, Parkinson’s, and many others.
Our expertise allows us to assist people with these conditions to live long, happy, and independent lives.
