Home Care Around Your Individual Needs
Mont Care provides care and companionship for people who need help with everyday life, recovery or ongoing support at home. We offer different levels of assistance so the care arrangement can reflect the person, their household and their needs.
Services are agreed as part of the individual care plan. Where nursing or clinical duties are required, these must be matched to appropriately qualified personnel.
Meals, routine and companionship
Mobility, activity and confidence
Care for older adults
Ageing can make everyday tasks more difficult, even when a person wants to continue living at home. Our caregivers provide personalised assistance that balances independence with practical support.
We help with daily activities and comfort, and with health monitoring where this forms part of the agreed care arrangement. Support can also include shopping, cooking, light cleaning, doctor visits, visits to friends and suitable outings.
Our aim is to create a supportive and enriching environment in which older people can continue enjoying everyday life with a carer’s assistance. Care may be provided in the client’s own home or a family member’s home.
Personal care and hygiene
Caregivers can assist with bathing, bed baths, toileting, dressing, grooming and other personal hygiene needs. Support is provided with attention to the client’s dignity, privacy and comfort.
The caregiver also helps keep the client’s surroundings clean and comfortable as part of their daily care.
Meals and feeding
We provide help with meal preparation, cooking according to the client’s dietary requirements and feeding where assistance is needed.
Meal support forms part of maintaining a comfortable daily routine and helping clients eat well at home.
Mobility and physical activity
Caregivers can assist with mobility, walks and suitable physical activities. Where part of the agreed care plan, they can help the client follow physiotherapy exercises and routines directed by the relevant healthcare professional.
Massage of the legs, arms and back for circulation support can also be discussed during assessment. This is provided only where appropriate to the client’s condition and the assigned worker’s training.
Care after an operation
Post-operative care can include assistance with personal hygiene, meals, mobility, daily activities and prescribed care while the client recovers at home.
We discuss the level of support needed so the client can be matched with suitable personnel. Recovering in familiar surroundings, close to loved ones, can help a person feel more comfortable and supported.
Medication and nursing support
Medication support includes assistance with prescribed medication and, where appropriately qualified personnel are assigned, medication by injection. The support arranged for each client depends on the prescription, care plan and qualifications of the person providing it.
Please tell us about any medication or nursing requirements when you enquire. Clinical duties, including injections, are assigned only within the professional scope of appropriately qualified nursing personnel.
Dementia and Alzheimer support
We provide companionship and assistance with everyday routines for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
Suitable games, conversation and activities can provide mental engagement and memory stimulation, while offering variety in the client’s day. Our caregivers aim to show understanding and compassion and help each person feel valued.
Disability and special needs care
Our home-care services also support adults and children living with disabilities or special needs. Assistance is arranged around the client’s individual requirements and discussed with the family during the care-planning process.
Companionship and emotional support
Some clients remain physically capable but feel lonely or are experiencing grief. A caregiver can provide company, conversation, entertainment and emotional support.
We encourage lasting relationships with clients and provide general and physical stimulation through suitable activities. This can include games, walks, outings and other interests that bring engagement to daily life.
Help around the home
Caregivers can assist with light housekeeping, cooking, small household chores and pet feeding. They can also help arrange outings and activities and support agreed shopping or visits.
This practical help can reduce the amount of separate household assistance a family needs during a caregiver’s shift. However, caregivers are not domestic workers. Their primary responsibility is always the client receiving care, and household tasks must fit around that responsibility.
