Why Domiciliary Care?

At Oakwell Homecare, we understand that seeking domiciliary care can be a significant decision, filled with both hope and concern. It's natural to feel a mix of emotions when considering how to best care for yourself or a loved one. In this blog post, we'd like to share some insights into the world of domiciliary care, address your concerns, and reassure you about the journey ahead.

Domiciliary care, also known as home care, is all about helping individuals maintain their independence and dignity while receiving the support they need within the familiar surroundings of their own homes. It's about keeping your sense of self, your cherished memories, and your routines intact. We believe that you deserve care that is not just good, but exceptional, and designed to cater to your unique needs.

Your Care Journey with Oakwell Homecare

The first step in your journey with Oakwell Homecare is to get in touch. You can call our team at 0121 663 6567 or complete our online contact form. We're here to answer your questions and to learn more about how we can assist you.

Next, we'll arrange an assessment. While we prefer in-person meetings, we understand that flexibility is key. We can also conduct assessments through phone calls, video chats, or virtual meetings. The assessment helps us understand your specific needs and preferences, and it's the first step towards creating a personalised care plan that aligns with your well-being.

Once your care plan is in place, our compassionate, highly skilled, and qualified team will start visiting you to provide the care you need. Our emphasis is on maintaining an environment that allows us to recruit and retain the very best staff to serve you.

We offer a range of services, from domiciliary care to live-in/overnight care, emergency homecare, post-operative care, housekeeping services, and ad-hoc/respite care. Your well-being is at the heart of everything we do, and our goal is to provide you with the utmost support and care you need.

We understand that cost is an essential consideration for you. During the consultation process, we strive to understand your needs, agree on the services you require, and provide you with precise, clear, and transparent pricing. We believe in transparency and provide you with a proper price for an itemised list of services, all signed off by you in advance. Our focus is on the care you want and need, at the time you ask for it.
