At Little Oak Healthcare, we understand that every individual is unique and therefore your package of care should be tailored in a way that meets all your individual needs. Our domiciliary care service will provide you with the support you need to remain comfortably in your own home.
- Personal Care- We don’t always choose to be in a position where we are unable to complete our own personal care. Which is why for many, entrusting others to complete our personal care can be daunting and often feel embarassing. Our staff at little Oak Healthcare all understand the importance of maintaining the privacy, respect and dignity of our clients at all times. Our Support staff are on hand to help with all personal tasks ranging from helping you get up in the morning, assistance in the shower/bath, washing and dressing, toileting or simply providing reassurance walking up/down the stairs to more complex care needs. Whatever we do, we ensure that the care we provide is individualized to meet your personal care needs.
We pride ourselves in the high level of training and continuous personal development our staff undergo to ensure that the level of care remains top quality.
- Nutrition and Hydration- At Little oak Healthcare, we understand the importance of Good nutrition and hydration in maintaining good physical health and Mental Well-being. All our carers are trained in food hygiene and nutrition and are able to monitor food and fluid intake, especially with our elderly clients who require extra nutritional support. We cater to meet all dietary requirements by sitting with you and planning all your meal. This means our home visits can range from 15 minutes and consist of basic requirements such as heating up food or making a sandwich, up to an hour where food can be cooked from scratch.
Should you wish to chat with us about further dietary and hydration requirements, please contact our team.We would love to chat with you about ways we can meet all your nutritional needs.
- Administering medication: Taking medication,whether starting a new course or an ongoing prescription can often feel so complex and confusing, especially when you are expected to make sense of a NOMAD or Mars chart. We are here to support you!
Our team works seamlessly with hospital discharge teams and ward Medical Doctors, pharmacists and GPs to ensure that clients are supported in receiving the correct medication, right and safe dose of medication and at the right time.
Our team is fully trained and qualified in administering all types of medication which can be in the form of a NOMAD or MARS chart pre packaged by the hospital or local pharmacy. We are also trained to administer other forms of medication i.e creams, inhalers, nebulisers and even nose/eye or ear drops.
Our medications service also allows us to re-order medication, collecting and delivering medications from the pharmacy to the clients home. This takes the burden and anxiety of monitoring medication off our clients and their families, providing peace of mind that their medicinal needs are being taken care of by us.
