Flexible Home Care in Haywards Heath and the Surrounding Area
From a little help each week to several visits a day, with care that responds to changing needs.
Abbey Care is a local, family-run home care company, providing care in Haywards Heath and the surrounding area since 1997.
For one person, that might mean some company, help with a weekly bath or shower, meals or medication. Someone else may need more regular help with personal care and mobility, support following a hospital stay or care as their health and abilities change.
We take time to get to know the person, what they are able to do for themselves, where they need some help and how they would like that help to be provided.
Established 1997 Family-run and locally based Our own care team – no agency care workers since 1997
Not sure what care you need?
You may know that some help is needed but are unsure where to start. We can help you work out what would make the biggest difference.
Call us and tell us a little about what is happening. One of our Managers or Care Coordinators can talk through the situation with you, answer your questions and explain how Abbey Care may be able to help.
If you would like to take things further, we can arrange a free, no-obligation assessment.
How we can help
Care at home can mean very different things to different people. These are some of the ways we can help.
Personal Care & Support
Help with washing, bathing, dressing, toileting, continence and mobility, while encouraging the person to continue doing what they can for themselves.
Palliative & End-of-Life Care
Care and support at home towards the end of life, taking account of the person’s wishes, what is important to them and the increasing help they may need.
Dementia Care
Care that takes account of the individual, their routines and the approaches that work for them, with support that can respond to challenges as they arise.
Eating & Drinking Support
Care workers can help with meals and drinks, but the support isn’t just about putting food on a plate. We get to know what the person likes, what they are able to do and what makes eating and drinking easier for them.
Complex & Changing Needs
More involved care for people whose health, mobility or abilities mean they need additional support to continue living at home. We can adapt the care as needs change and work alongside other professionals involved.
Companionship & Independence
Company and practical support at home or out and about – perhaps going shopping, for a walk or out for lunch – while helping the person continue doing the things they enjoy.
Coming Home from Hospital
Care to support the transition home following a hospital stay, with a care package that can be reviewed and reduced as the person recovers and regains independence.
Respite Care
Regular or occasional care to give a family carer time away, whether for a few hours, a regular commitment or a particular occasion.
Care that adapts to what you need
The care someone needs today may not be the care they need in a few months’ time.
Someone might begin with a little help once or twice a week and need more support later. After an illness or hospital stay, the opposite may be true: more care may be needed at first and then reduced as the person recovers and is able to do more for themselves again.
Family circumstances can change too. A family carer may be away, unwell or have a particular commitment, and some extra visits may be helpful for a period.
For existing clients, we will always try to respond when additional care is needed, including at short notice where we have availability.
You don’t have to wait for a crisis before talking to us. If the current care package no longer feels right, or you think some additional support may soon be needed, call the office and talk it through.
Why Abbey Care?
An experienced team and familiar faces
More than half of our current care workers have been with Abbey Care for over five years. We aim to provide a familiar team who get to know the person, their routines and how they like to be supported.
We notice – and act
Our experienced care workers know what to look out for and raise concerns if something doesn’t seem right. Because they get to know the people they support, they may notice changes in someone’s health, mobility or general wellbeing and let the office team know so that concerns can be followed up.
No long tie-ins
We don’t believe anyone should have to keep paying for visits simply to keep their care with us while they’re in hospital or away for a while. And if care is no longer needed, clients aren’t tied into a long-term commitment.
CLIENT FEEDBACK
“It has been so lovely to see all the familiar faces again. The care is exceptional… It is so reassuring for me personally to be back with you.”
