HOME CARE SERVICES IN LEICESTERSHIRE

HOURLY CARE
Hourly care / visiting care

Hourly care or visiting care is for those who need support with daily living tasks or clinical care at certain times during the day. Care at home can be provided from a 60-minute visit to as many hours/visits throughout the day as you require, one day or several days of the week depending on your care and support needs.

Respite care is required when individuals need a short-term arrangement after hospital discharge to rehabilitate or when a family carer needs a break from their caring role. It is also an ideal service for families who wish to assess whether care at home is the right care choice for them.

BRANCH MANAGER, LEICESTER

I have been working in care for more than 10 years and have a wealth of experience in supporting people with learning disabilities, mental health issues and those living with complex conditions. I started my career in care as a Care Worker in an NHS Residential Home before going to University to complete a Psychology/Criminology degree.

On completion of my studies, I held several managerial positions within the care sector. Since moving to Prestige Nursing & Care my role has been to focus on operational management, compliance, recruitment and business growth.   We ensure that people with complex needs are safe in their own home with the most appropriate care as and when they need it.  I am proud that the service we provide enables people to continue to be independent at home around the people closest to them and am passionate that home is the best place to receive the care they need.

I first joined Prestige in 2006 at the age of 55 when I retired from full time work. I left some time after and then joined Prestige again in 2016. 

In 2018 I took on the Role of Branch Nurse, which then became Regional Nurse. I love my Role.  I mostly support My Care Colleagues, predominantly the ones who provide Complex Care.  I have the pleasure of meeting our Clients and their Families in their own homes.  My role is very varied, and no two days are the same.  I have become Teacher, Assessor, Manager, Mentor and Guide.  It is like all of my skills have been drawn together in this one ‘Meant to Be’ Role.  After 0ver 30 years as a Registered Nurse I have the opportunity to pass on some of my knowledge and Skills before age finally catches up with me.  It is a Privilege to do what I do, and I consider myself to be very lucky.

Going back to the start of my care career I commenced my Training at the age of 37 and in 1990 became a Registered General Nurse.  In 1998 I gained my  ‘City and Guilds Further and Adult Education Certificate,’ and followed that a year later with ‘The Counselling and Psychology Central Awarding Body, Certificate in Counselling Skills’. I have undertaken many courses since then, and have recently completed the Parkinson’s UK ‘Train the Trainer Course’.

My first post after qualification was General Surgery, then in 1992, I moved to a Hospice as I wanted to provide Quality Person Centred Care for people at at the end of their life.

In 2006 at the age of 55 I retired from Full Time work and it was then that I first joined Prestige. Due to other employment opportunities with Derby and Derbyshire Health Trusts I ended up leaving a while after.

In 2009 I  was approached by a Company called ‘Handle With Care’ who provided Training for several Domiciliary Care Companies and Care Homes, and was asked to join their Team of Trainers and for a while I worked for them.

In 2016, I decided to go back to direct patient care before I got too old to manage the physical requirements, and came back to Prestige. The Derby Branch were concentrating predominantly on Homecare with some Healthcare shifts in Nursing homes, so I worked mostly as a Health Care Assistant.  I did some work with Whizz Kids, both as a Nurse and a Support worker, and loved every minute.

Over the next 14 years, I worked as part of specialist team of health professionals, caring for premature infants from 23 weeks gestation and sick infants requiring many forms of intensive care and specialist treatments, surgical intervention or palliative care. I assisted with clinical research programmes, supported and delivered teaching to parents/guardians to provide complex care for their child such as tracheostomy care, enteral feeding, oxygen therapy and suction training in preparation for their discharge home. I became a student nurse mentor supervising, teaching and assessing clinical skills and competencies at the end of the training programme.

I qualified as a Registered Adult Nurse in 2011 at Royal Preston Hospital through the University of Central Lancashire.

I take great pride in my work and my aim is to always ensure person centred, holistic care is delivered to our clients and families.

KIND WORDS FROM ONE OF OUR CLIENTS IN LEICESTERSHIRE

“Prestige Nursing & Care in Leicestershire have lived up to the high standards we were looking for.   Professionalism and compassionate – from the management team to the carers. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who needs peace of mind, trust and quality of care.”

Julian – Client’s Son

COST OF OUR CARE IN LEICESTERSHIRE

The cost of our care is dependent on the level of care and support you require.  If you are receiving our hourly care service, the overall cost will be determined by the number of visits and frequency of visits to you at home. Our experts will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your needs at your home, or in hospital if you are awaiting discharge to truly understand what you need and therefore how much care at home will cost.

We know that the cost of our care in Leicestershire is very competitive when compared with other home care providers in the area.  It is worth noting that when comparing the cost of home care with a care package in a care home, that the fee you pay for home care is actually for the care and support you receive.  In a care home your weekly fee mainly covers your accommodation, food and social activities with the care package being only a small part of what you pay.

You may be entitled to either social care funding, healthcare funding or Government funding that could contribute to the cost of care at home.  If you are faced with having to finance your own home care (known as self-funding care), there are initiatives available to you, including care fees annuities or equity release schemes that could provide the funds you need for your care and support.

“I can honestly say joining Prestige Nursing & Care was one of the best decisions I have ever made”

“I had worked in care for over 25 years yet working for Prestige has opened many other opportunities to care for people of all ages with different needs. I feel valued and appreciated and I know there is a big support network when needed. I get such a huge feeling of pride every day just in knowing that I have helped to make a difference to someone’s life.”

Claire – Carer in Leicestershire

Anyone with a desire to care for others should consider joining Prestige Nursing & Care. I have learned that it doesn’t matter what your experience level is – with the right support, a positive mindset, being open to learn and demonstrating an engaging personality, you will go far.
From the initial interview process, through to the virtual training and being out in the field alone for the first time, support from the branch has been present at all times. So much so that all those usual new job jitters were put at ease quickly, because immediately you know the team at the branch wants you to succeed as much as you do in yourself. Everyone is approachable and seeing them out in the field too is reassurance that all the carers and clients are given the best support possible.
The shadow shifts and double-up calls have been a great learning opportunity to get to know the other carers and feel the confidence boost of knowing everything you are doing with them is correct and that they trust you. Eventually, the early nerves passed and already with the repetition of familiar clients and bonding with the team, I feel assured in my ability to help others and the joy it brings my day receiving a compliment for the simple things we all take for granted. Each person matters and it makes every new experience enjoyable as you know you wouldn’t be invited to spend time with that client unless they trusted you to be.
