Sometimes we all need a little extra help. Find out what a Home Care worker could do to make your life that much easier
Over recent decades, demand for home care services in the United Kingdom has increased significantly. In fact, according to the latest figures published by the King’s Fund, more than 350,000 older people make use of the types of services offered by home care agencies, while more than 75,000 younger people also rely on home care support for either learning or physical disabilities, or because they suffer from mental health problems.

Respite For Carers
In addition to helping people who are in need of care, a professional home care worker can also provide invaluable respite for those who care for their loved ones. This is beneficial for a variety of reasons, such as relieving stress, improving mental health and allowing carers to live a more balanced, fulfilling life.
Quality of Life
“Quality of life is shown to improve when working with organisations such as Enspíra.”
On a most basic level, home care workers can help to drastically improve the quality of life of those who require elder care services, or similar support. This can be achieved by providing assistance with basic household chores, by preparing meals, by providing personal care, by helping a service user with medication, and more.
Professional home care agencies like Enspíra employ teams of care workers, with a range of skills. As a result, they can also offer more specialist care for people living with conditions like dementia, or learning disabilities. You also have complete control over how much care you actually receive and when you receive it.
