GoodOaks is an award winning Homecare provider that enables people to stay living safely and independently in the home they love. Our professional and discreet carers do not where a uniform and provide a bespoke service giving as much or a little support as you needed.We specialise in both Live In and Visiting Care - which is an alternative to a Carehome.
With our help, clients are able to stay in familiar surroundings that they have spent their lives shaping. Our live-in care professionals adapt and work to support you in your own home, so you can keep your independence and possessions, family and pets around you no matter what your situation.
GoodOaks’ fully trained care professionals will tailor a care plan based on your needs and wishes, working to your routines. They can help guide you in light exercises recommended by physiotherapists. Providing companionship, they help you get out and about, arranging shopping trips, visiting friends and attending appointments with your doctor. They can also assist with prescription ordering and collection.
GoodOaks’ visiting care professionals look after all those tasks that are becoming a struggle. They help with morning routines, housework, preparing meals, administering medication, attending doctors appointments – and they provide companionship.
How to arrange Care
Ask for a needs assessment from your local council.
Although a lot of people aren’t eligible for social care support due to either not having high enough care needs, or having assets of over £23,250 (in England, 2021/22), councils are obliged to provide a free assessment, and might be able to support you to stay at home.
It is worth going through the process, as at least you are ‘in the system’, and they might be able to signpost you to other relevant services or support.
If you are entitled to support because your needs meet the threshold and you have assets of less than £23,250, you can choose whether to get the council to organise the care they think you need, or to use the equivalent amount of money in a ‘personal budget’, which you can then use to organise the care you need, which can include working with a company like GoodOaks, topping up the personal budget to meet the extra costs.
Creating a care plan
The care agency will work with you to create a care plan, which will outline what the ‘package of care’ looks like. This might be a schedule of care visits throughout the week, as well as exactly what the care professional will do at each visit. This is a collaborative, two way process that should put the client and their family right at the heart of the planning process.
It is also a living document, in that it will constantly evolve and change alongside your needs. Care agencies will regularly review the care and make adjustments when needed.
GoodOaks - Specialist Care
Specialist care professionals have received additional training and are skilled in meeting patients’ needs. The care team liaises with your wider care team of GP’s, physiotherapists and other medical experts to ensure your care is personalised and centred around you.
