Home care is often seen through the lens of personal care - tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication support. However, Avante’s Home Care service encompasses much more.

The true essence of home care is about nurturing a person’s overall well-being, providing companionship, and supporting their emotional and mental health. Whether it's personal care, live-in care or overnight care, the goal is not just to meet the physical needs but to promote a fulfilling and vibrant life in the comfort of their own home.

One of the most overlooked aspects of home care is companionship. As individuals age or face health challenges, loneliness and isolation can become serious concerns. Physical care might address basic needs, but emotional and social well-being requires connection. Avante Home Care staff serve as trusted companions, engaging clients in conversations, sharing memories, playing games, or simply being present.

Companionship reduces loneliness, which can significantly impact mental health. A strong social connection has been linked to improved cognitive function, lowered risk of depression, and a better quality of life. Home caregivers can become friends, offering comfort, support, and a sense of belonging, making the care experience richer and more fulfilling.

Avante Home Care staff incorporate activities stimulating the mind and body, like light exercises, reading, music, gardening or shopping. These activities support mental stimulation, improve mood, and can slow cognitive decline. Additionally, Avante staff provide reassurance, encouragement, and patience, helping clients feel valued and respected, enhancing their well-being.

Avante Home Care can also include Live-in Care and overnight care, for those who need more constant care, live-in care offers a great solution. This service ensures that someone is always available to assist with personal care, but it’s not just about being there for physical needs. Avante Home Carers develop companionship with the service user, understanding their routines, preferences, and needs intimately. This provides a sense of security and stability for both the person receiving care and their family.

Overnight care ensures that individuals are cared for even in the most vulnerable hours. It’s not just about being available to assist with getting in and out of bed or addressing night time discomfort. It’s about providing a comforting presence that helps reduce anxiety for both the client and their family.

Avante Home Care enables individuals to lead dignified, independent lives while feeling connected and cared for. For more information on Avante Home Care contact 01795 600460 or visit www.avantecare.org.uk.
