Our Services
Day time, Respite and Community Inclusion
At Elite Care we know that looking after a loved one can be a 24/7 role, sometimes as human beings we need a break, whether that be to attend our own appointments or to get the weekly shop or just for some time to relax and recharge. Our daytime respite is all about giving a carer that opportunity. Daytime respite can be for as little as an hour or as much as a day depending on what is needed. Our fully trained staff will be there for your loved one whilst you are out doing what you need to do. We can work with people a wide variety of conditions including Dementia, Huntingdon’s disease, Diabetes insipidus, M.S. plus many others. We would try wholeheartedly to ensure that the same staff member visited each time to ensure continuity so that your loved one could feel safe.
We also know that getting older or having a disability can be very isolating for people leading to potential mental health issues and loneliness, our community inclusion service is designed to enable people who are normally stuck in their homes to get out into the community to feel included again and to regain their place in society. It could be as simple as going to meet friends for coffee or to go to the local village hall, it might be to get out to pamper yourself and get your hair done. Whatever the reason our community Inclusion service is there to help.
Visiting Care
At Elite Care we know how important it can be to be able to stay in our own homes where we are surrounded by our own things and the memories of our lives. Our Visiting Care Services are designed to ensure that individuals can get the care that they need to allow this to happen. Our fully trained staff team are there to meet your needs be it personal care needs, including washing, dressing and medication, food preparation or light housework, we can arrange a variety of call times throughout the day ranging from a 15-minute welfare call up to an hour for washing, dressing and food prep. We understand that it can be very unsettling to have numerous carers coming and going and not knowing when they will arrive. It is our policy that, wherever possible, we would endeavour to send the same select few carers to someone so that the person can get to know the staff member and feel comfortable that there is not a procession of different carers visiting. All individuals that are supported by Elite Care are given specific timings that are pre-agreed and our carers will endeavour to attend on time.
Supported Living
Our Supported Living service enables people to live as independently as they can within their own tenancies. Every individual has their own unique abilities and our care team will help promote and support them to manage all aspects of their lives ensuring that they feel in control. It is important that every person has the space, time and support they require to enhance their current skills as well as developing new ones. This can be anything from help with personal care, housework, social activities or money management so that they can improve their daily living skills and in turn become more independent. We already provide these services across Bedfordshire and Luton and we currently have a house in Bedford ready for occupation. We have recently entered into a relationship with a property developer in Rushden (Northamptonshire) where he will provide the housing so that we can care for individuals in tenancies of their own and we have three brand new flats ready for occupation, this means that we are now able to expand our services into Northamptonshire We can look after people who have a Learning Disability as well as Mental Health issues and Physical Disabilities. The support we provide can be a set number of hours in a day up to 24/7 giving individuals the levels of support that they need in a way that helps them grow as valued members of the community.
Dementia Care Services
Our Dementia Care services are delivered to each person in a way that is tailored to their individual needs. We can support the person to be able to stay in their own homes for as long as possible. Our highly trained staff team have experience in caring for people with dementia and all of the associated issues. All of our staff are trained to help with medication, any moving and handling issues and aggressive outbursts should that be needed. We work alongside families and carers to ensure that the person is cared for to the highest standard, in the way the family/ carers and the person themself would want and at the same time allowing full time carers a much needed break, knowing that they can relax because their loved one is safe and well cared for. These services could be washing or bathing, helping with feeding, sitting with the person whilst the carer takes a well earned break or taking the person out visiting the places that they once frequented. The service is flexible to the individuals needs, giving scope to help in multiple ways. Our Staff will ensure that the person does as much for themselves as they can so that they retain the skills that they have as long as possible. We can provide services from just 30 minutes a week right up to full 24hr care and we will always try to ensure that the same carers come each time so that there is continuity for the person which enables them to get to know each other and build a good working relationship.
