Everyday tasks can get harder with different conditions, whether it be a minor injury or more long-term conditions. Rivendell provide personal care and can help with continence management, administering medication and rehabilitation and enablement programmes provided by a health and social care professional.

We recognise that having a clean and tidy home is very important to all of our clients and their families.

Our team can help with:

Dusting and vacuuming, cleaning the property, changing the bed linen and towels, laundry and ironing, cleaning floors and other housekeeping duties.

We are also able to:

Support with correspondence and help with shopping

It can feel very isolating being at home on your own for long periods of time.  Companionship cannot be under-estimated in maintaining alertness, engagement and general well-being.  With the hectic and fast-paced life most of us operate within it can be difficult to pay as much attention to loved ones as we would ideally like.  Our carers are employed by us because they love what they do and it is their aim to add a little sparkle to the day of our care users.

Our carers can be available to support contact with family and friends; engage in a hobby in or away from the home or join in with community activities.  We can help support scheduled appointments e.g. doctor, hospital, district nurse, plumber, gasman, cinema, theatre, social visits and more.

From the local amateur dramatic society or partake in gentle exercise we can provide a carer to accompany and work out with you!

We can set up Skype calls with loved ones here or abroad, send photographs of meals and the environment – all offering peace of mind that your loved one is receiving the best possible care.

Diet and Food Preparation

For the body to work properly, it is essential to have a balanced and nutritious diet. We understand that sometimes it can be hard to know what to eat, this is why we can work alongside a diet plan created by a doctor or dietician ensuring we serve meals that are both tasty and nutritious. Along with sticking to a meal plan, our carers can attend your weekly shop with you to help implement this plan into your everyday diet.

Our staff work alongside a culturally diverse mix of clients and are able to follow religious and cultural requirements. For example when providing care for our observant Jewish clientele we will teach our care staff about keeping a kosher household and keeping shomer shabbat.

Home Care involves an experienced, qualified and vetted carer looking after someone from the comfort of their own home. Home care can be flexible from 2/3 visits a week right through to 24-hour care.

Our fully trained, accredited and experienced carers can provide help and support with personal care, housekeeping, companionship and dietary care. Our friendly and experienced carers always aim to provide a top quality level of care that you are happy and comfortable with.

Home care allows you to stay at home in familiar surroundings and receive expert and professional care surrounded by loved ones. Home care also allows you to be as independent as possible. Residential care involves moving into an unfamiliar environment and eating meals and going to sleep at set times, visiting is normally restricted and care isn’t frequently one-to-one.
