Specialist home care is designed for individuals who have complex health conditions that require a higher level of support, whether physical, emotional, or both. This type of care goes beyond the basics of help with daily routines. It’s about understanding the unique needs of the person, offering skilled support and doing it all with compassion and dignity.

At Homelium, our specially trained carers are here to support a wide range of needs, always with the goal of helping clients remain at home, surrounded by the people, pets and memories they love.

Conditions We Support

We understand that no two journeys are the same, and that’s why we tailor everything to the individual. Some of the conditions we support include:

Dementia Care

Our carers are trained in dementia care, offering gentle routines, emotional reassurance and activities that support memory and wellbeing.

Parkinson’s Disease

From mobility support to medication assistance and day-to-day comfort, our team understands the intricacies of Parkinson’s and how it can impact each person differently.

Stroke Recovery

Recovering from a stroke can be a long road. We provide practical and emotional support to help rebuild independence and confidence at a pace that suits each client.

Neurological Conditions

We support individuals with conditions such as MS, MND and others, offering consistent care, help with communication and reassurance through every step.

Palliative and End-of-Life Care

Our carers offer not only physical support but emotional presence , bringing calm, kindness and dignity during some of the most sensitive moments for families.

How Specialist Home Care Can Help

Every person’s needs are unique and so is our approach. Specialist home care can help by:

Maintaining routines that bring comfort and structure.
Reducing isolation, with friendly faces and conversation.
Managing symptoms with confidence and support.
Easing emotional strain for both clients and families.
Promoting independence, choice, and quality of life.

This kind of care doesn’t just support health, it lifts spirits, relieves pressure and helps people feel more like themselves.
