Home care in Derry comes in various forms and is tailored to meet an extensive range of individual needs, offering services from companionship to complex support, all available through PrimeCarers.
Hourly care is a particularly flexible and accessible type of care. This type of support typically operates during daylight hours and offers care for those who need assistance with their daily activities.
One of the major benefits of hourly care is its broad-range adaptability. From a simple hour or two of assistance each week to support those individuals needing an extra bit of help around the house, to more comprehensive daily support, hourly care can be designed around the precise needs of the person receiving the care.
A person may need help with a range of tasks, including cooking, cleaning, and personal grooming, among others. An important part of the flexibility of hourly care is its dynamic nature. The support provided can change as the needs of the individual evolve, increasing or decreasing the hours of support as required.
For individuals who require support throughout the night, overnight care is an essential resource. This type of care is customisable, depending on the specific needs of the individual. It can be either waking or sleeping night care.
Sleeping night care, sometimes called a sleepover care, is a subtle type of support. The carer is there for reassurance, safety and to offer help in emergencies or if needed during the night. In comparison, waking night care is more hands-on. The care workers stay awake to perform regular checks throughout the night and provide any necessary aid such as administering medication or assisting with toileting needs.

For those with more complex care needs, live-in care might be the best option. In this arrangement, a carer lives in the person's home, providing round-the-clock support.
A live-in carer is capable of offering an all-encompassing level of care that can range from assistance with housekeeping and meal preparation to providing complex medical support. The core aim of this approach is to ensure safety, comfort, and preserve the independence of the person needing care in the familiar surroundings of their own home.
PrimeCarers specialise in handling a wide range of conditions, and the care provided can be tailor-made to ensure maximum benefit for each person.
