We have thirty years experience of supporting people of all ages living with a disability at home. Our role is to help you maintain independence and comfort in the familiarity and security of your own home. We also provide mobility care, respite or 24/7 care.
Whatever the reason, we are here to help.
Disability Care at Home
Our carers are well trained in caring for people of all ages with all types of disabilities. All carers meet the relevant national QQI certification, as required by the HSE. This covers modules such as Patient Moving and Handling. In addition, many carers have specialist training and experience e.g. use of hoists. Private HomeCare employs its own in-house certified trainer to ensure the highest standards of training are met. You will be matched with a carer(s) whose skillset matches your needs.
Communication
We believe communication is critically important for assisting people with disabilities. It is very important that your wishes can be understood by carers, and acted upon. It is important that you are heard. This applies to normal conversation as well as any specific requests you might have. As well as assisting with your needs, companionship is a fundamental element of any successful client : carer relationship.
Patient Handling
Our carers are trained to be gentle in assisting disabled people. They will be mindful of identifying where there might be pain, and to avoid or alleviate that when assisting you at all times.
Mobility
Carers are trained in all aspects of mobility ranging from assistance from sit to stand, to assisted walking to hoists.
Carer Responsibilities
Whether you need full time disability care, part time home care or family respite, we can help.
We prioritise the following three areas to our careteam, to ensure your comfort:
- Personal Care : being clean and comfortable which may include assistance with toileting or incontinence
- Food and Fluid Intake : check food is available, shopping lists are updated, meal preparation and assistance with eating
- Medication Prompts : carers prompt for medication reminders
Client Testimonials
It was a great help that potential carers and the Nurse Manager were introduced to my daughter Hannah (who has an intellectual disability) before commencing their shifts. This way I could see how they interacted with Hannah and if she took to them.
I am very impressed with the choice of carers that were matched to my daughter. They are all very competent and kind.
Since then Private HomeCare have been in constant contact to ensure all is going well. I have no hesitation in recommending Private HomeCare.
