SPECIALIST home CARE SERVICES
What is specialist home care?
Whilst some of our clients simply need a little help around the home, others require specialist care for highly complex medical and physical needs.
Families often contact us during a time of crisis, perhaps a loved one has suffered a setback or a fall, or they are being discharged from the hospital and require professional clinical support to recover safely. We take the stress out of these difficult situations, and our responsive team can start setting up urgent specialist care within 24 hours of your call.
Receiving a complex diagnosis or managing an advanced condition can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t mean you have to move into a residential care home. You can stay in the home you love with the right support. Whether you are navigating advanced dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke recovery, or palliative needs, we have the experience required to support complex care safely at home. We are here to support you and your family, whatever your specific situation.

What are the benefits of receiving specialist live-in care at home?
Specialist live-in care provides plenty of benefits for different conditions:
- Comfort – when living with conditions such as dementia, the thought of leaving a familiar environment and abandoning long-established routines can be distressing. Staying in the comfort of your own home makes it much easier to enjoy daily life.
- Quality of life – having a one-on-one carer that lives with you not only makes living with a condition much easier but also can improve your overall quality of life. From helping you to exercise regularly to preparing healthy meals, a carer will support you throughout your condition.
- Freedom – you can feel as though you lose a part of your freedom when diagnosed with a life-altering condition. However, this really isn’t the case. Our specialist live-in care service helps you to maintain your independence and freedom. We can help you attend social events, continue hobbies and do the things you love.
- Peace of mind – when living with dementia, Parkinson’s, cerebral palsy, cancer or another condition, you may worry about living alone. With our specialist live-in care service, you can rest assured that you’ve got 24/7 support.
- Flexibility – not everyone deals with conditions the same way. Our service flexes to your needs so we can best support you.
If you’re concerned that you or your loved one has specific needs that we may not have experience with, please give us a call and we can talk through the situation with you.
FAQ’s
Get all the information you need
When it comes to choosing the right care for you and your family, nothing matters more than finding a solution that works for you. Elderly home care and residential care are both alternatives that you’re likely to consider, both offering similar services. But how do they differ?
Whilst residential care does offer 24/7 care support, live-in care offers all of the following benefits:
One-to-one care from a dedicated carer
24/7 care support
Stay in the comfort of your home
Stay with your partner and all your possessions
No accommodation fees
Flexibility to choose between hourly visits or 24/7 care
It can be hard to recognise when your loved one may need more support than you can offer. Every situation is unique, but if they’re experiencing any of the following it could be a a good time to consider elderly care:
- If your relative struggles to complete daily tasks, such as cooking, washing, cleaning or going to the bathroom, without support
- If your family member is struggling to meet medical needs, such as taking medications on time and attending appointments
- If your relative feels isolated and lonely, or if your family is unable to frequently visit and provide the support needed.
At Ashridge Home Care, one of our care managers will work with you to design a care plan that meets all of your loved one’s needs. Hourly care could suit your family if they require care during a few core hours of the day, whilst live-in care can offer 24-hour care for round-the-clock support.
