Homecare, in its essence, encompasses the provision of care within the comforting confines of one’s own home. At Unicare Complex, we specialise in delivering comprehensive Homecare solutions to a diverse clientele, spanning various age groups and encompassing distinct requirements. Our unwavering commitment lies in tailoring individualised plans for each client, ensuring that our services align precisely with their desired outcomes and preferred structure.
Embracing a broad spectrum of Homecare services, we empower our proficient caregivers to assist with an array of activities. From culinary expertise in cooking and meal preparation to adeptness in general housekeeping, personal care, and facilitating shopping trips, our dedicated team offers an extensive range of support. By customising our Homecare solutions, we strive to address the unique needs of you or your family member, providing utmost comfort and personalised attention throughout the journey.
Discussing the possibility of Homecare with a loved one can be challenging, as it may be perceived as a loss of independence. However, it is important to dispel this misconception. Homecare services aim to empower individuals and support their independence while meeting their needs. The focus is on enabling your loved one to maintain their freedom while receiving the necessary care and assistance. Striking a balance between independence and support is a key priority in our approach to Homecare.
Our priority is to ensure your safety and comfort in your own home by providing flexible care tailored to your needs. Our carers will collaborate with you to determine necessary home adaptations to enhance safety and mobility, particularly to prevent falls. We strive to minimize hospitalizations and keep you well, enabling you to receive the care you require in the comforting environment of your home.
Our carers are responsible for ensuring the timely and accurate administration of medication. This is crucial as medication management plays a vital role in managing conditions effectively. Concerns about forgetting doses or taking incorrect amounts are common, and it may be challenging for families to oversee medication administration consistently. Our trained carers are equipped to handle this responsibility, ensuring that you receive the right medication at the right time, alleviating any concerns and promoting your well-being.
At Unicare Complex, our trained carers are skilled in medication administration and use advanced technology to ensure accurate and effective management. They understand the importance of proper medication dosage and timing. Our carers also offer prescription pickup services, ensuring easy access to medications. With our dedicated team, you can trust in receiving reliable and comprehensive medication management.
At Unicare Complex, we understand the importance of emotional care alongside physical care. Dealing with any condition can be challenging, not just physically but also mentally. We recognise that even a slight loss of independence can lead to frustration and potential depression. Therefore, we prioritise matching you with a carer who can provide the companionship and emotional support you require. Our goal is to ensure a meaningful connection by pairing you with a carer who shares common interests, making the experience enjoyable for both parties. We acknowledge that living with a chronic condition can be isolating, especially when lacking a supportive family network. Our carers are always available to provide support and companionship whenever you need it, including emergency situations. Our Homecare services are accessible 24 hours a day to accommodate your needs and offer comprehensive care, including emotional support.
The main advantage of Homecare over a residential care home is the ability to receive care in familiar surroundings, surrounded by personal belongings and without the presence of unfamiliar people. It allows individuals to stay with their partners and keep their beloved pets by their side, which may not be possible in a care home setting.
Care homes typically follow a rigid routine, which may be challenging for patients. In contrast, receiving care services at home offers personalized, one-to-one support without the limitations of a strict schedule. Patients can receive assistance whenever needed, tailored to their individual requirements.
In a Homecare setting, you benefit from a personalized care plan and the undivided attention of a dedicated caregiver who focuses solely on your needs. This individualized approach ensures that your care is tailored to your specific requirements. Conversely, in a residential care home, it is more challenging to receive one-to-one care as caregivers often have multiple clients to attend to simultaneously, limiting the level of individualized attention that can be provided.
Homecare offers a higher level of flexibility compared to residential care. Clients can set their own care plan and choose from options such as round-the-clock care or short-term care. This flexibility allows for personalized and adaptable care, including emergency care or respite care for family members.
In addition to delivering essential care services, Homecare providers also offer valuable companionship to their clients. Recognizing the significance of emotional support, our dedicated carers are trained to provide companionship that can greatly contribute to meeting the individual’s emotional needs. We understand that fostering meaningful connections and companionship can have a profound positive impact on overall well-being and quality of life.
Residential care requires giving up one’s home and possessions, leading to emotional distress. However, Homecare services offer a solution by allowing individuals to keep their property and preserve the cherished sense of home. Homecare ensures comfort, security, and familiarity, enabling individuals to maintain a sense of continuity within their beloved surroundings.
Being separated from loved ones can have a negative impact on mental well-being, especially in care homes where overnight stays are restricted. In contrast, Homecare allows individuals to remain with their partners, fostering a comforting and supportive environment. This continuity of companionship can contribute to improved mental and emotional well-being, potentially prolonging life and reducing stress, particularly during nighttime hours.
Placing a loved one in a care home often evokes guilt, but Homecare relieves families of this burden. With Homecare, loved ones receive personalized care in the comfort of their own home, allowing families to visit without prior notice and at any time. This flexibility offers reassurance and eliminates the need for designated visiting hours. Families have the freedom to check on their loved ones during the night or make spontaneous visits, as the clients and their families make the decisions about visiting in their own home.
Opting for Homecare instead of a care home can offer significant cost savings, even for overnight care. Care home fees tend to be higher in comparison. If you are contemplating transitioning from a care home to Homecare or if you wish to initiate Homecare services promptly, we invite you to contact us. Our team is eager to engage in a comprehensive discussion about the available options. We can arrange a visit to assess your specific needs and develop a tailored solution that caters to your requirements.

Homecare is a preferred option for individuals needing care support for their conditions. It offers a comprehensive range of support, including nurse-led clinical assistance and day-to-day caregiver support, tailored to individual needs. With Homecare, individuals can maintain their routines, live with their partners, and have the freedom to see friends and family. Homecare provides comfort in familiar surroundings and relieves the worry of sending loved ones to a care home or hospital. It is a perfect solution that prioritizes individual comfort and peace of mind for families.
It couldn’t be easier. You can just give us a call for a brief chat to discuss your needs or that of your loved one, and we will arrange to carry out an assessment at a time that is convenient to you. We will design a plan that is completely tailored to the needs of you or your family member, and then team you up with a carer or a team of carers, depending on your needs.
The level of care you receive will be dependent on your condition, and how complex it is. We find that individuals with conditions such as Parkinson’s often require short term care depending on when the symptoms of the conditions are at their worst. For most conditions, respite care is required for families, especially for those that are caring for children, such as in the case of cerebral palsy We will always advise our clients on what we think would be best suited to them, but it is completely yours and your family’s decision as to what level of care you opt for. If you have complex needs, you will need support from a nurse as well as a carer.
Ultimately, we will choose a carer that is experienced and trained to deal with your condition, but we will also ensure we match you with a carer that shares some of your hobbies, interests or general outlook. If you are unhappy with the carer we have provided, we will be happy to change to another. We understand that we might not get the right match, and we are happy to ensure you have the perfect match.
Our experienced carers offers a wide range of home-based care services, including specialised care for complex conditions like motor neurone disease and muscular dystrophy. They assist with daily activities such as personal care, shopping, housework, and meal preparation. Our carers are trained to provide nurse-led care for complex conditions and also offer valuable emotional support to individuals and their families. Our mission is to deliver exceptional care while promoting independence and encouraging clients to engage in tasks they are capable of, prioritising their health and safety.
We have a team of carers on hand, so don’t be concerned if your carer isn’t able to attend, we will always send another carer.
Of course. In fact, we actively encourage this. Your family and friends can visit anytime they want, it is your home after all. Our carers can also take you to your family and friends if required, as well as any other activities you’d like to do.
The cost will depend on the frequency and type of care you require. You can contact us at any time to discuss the costs and we can also advise on ways to fund the care. There is a lot of help available that people are often unaware of.
