Breaking a hip or having a knee replacement can mean a long recovery ahead, and knowing that there is a carer in the property to assist when needing help cooking or cleaning can be reassuring. Rivendell are a specialist care agency in North London with a team of trained carers who have experience in providing home care in Barnet for both young and senior adults.

What kind of homecare support is available?

There are many homecare services available, depending on what you need. Your local authority will decide if you’re eligible for these services, or for home carers or a personal assistant. The kinds of services available to help you in your own home include:

• getting in and out of bed
• bathing and washing
• preparing meals
• cleaning
• fitting equipment and adaptations to your home, such as stairlifts and bath seats
• going to a day centre

There are many benefits to choosing homecare. Homecare is a lot more flexible, offering different levels of care without long-term commitment. For example, you may just need help with everyday tasks whilst you are recovering from an injury. When you’re feeling better you may not need the extra help.

Where should I look for help if I’m arranging homecare myself?

You can get help with things such as cleaning, shopping and personal care through private agencies. These agencies must be registered with the Care Quality Commission.
