How we helped with the transition from hospital to home
“When our father was ready to be discharged, after a six week stay in hospital, we were told that it may be best to look for a nursing home for him. He was desperate to go home and be with our mother so we approached Draycott and from the very beginning we were so well supported by them that we felt confident to try to follow his wishes.
In the hospital he had been totally bedbound but even on his first day at home the carer was able to help him to transfer from bed to chair. The rehabilitation team have commented that they couldn’t believe the transformation from their initial visit to their discharge review six weeks later, when he was able to walk a short way up the road using his sticks. He had achieved and surpassed all his targets solely due to the magnificent efforts of the carers supporting, encouraging and, at times, cajoling him to do his exercises. We really feel that this would not have happened if he had been in a nursing home, as he would not have had the skilled one-to-one attention which made this possible.
From the beginning both Draycott and the carers have been confident in dealing with the complicated medicine regime and have taken the lead in contacting the GP to raise medical issues when necessary, as well as liaising daily with the district nurses. They were very good at keeping us, the family, updated on any developments.
The individual carers were very friendly and easy to get on with but also unobtrusive, making it easy to build up a great relationship with them. We never felt that they intruded on the home, but they have always been there instantly when needed. They are flexible and keen to help with anything that has been asked of them, using their wide ranging knowledge and experience to provide excellent support to our father. They have always shown a caring and considerate attitude towards personal care, maintaining our father’s sense of dignity and independence at all times.
We never expected to get such amazing support from a care provider, the phone was always answered very quickly, emails were always responded to. Agnella always knew exactly who we were and all the details of our father’s case without having to take time to look things up, and appeared to take everything in her stride which helped us to deal with some very challenging and distressing situations with our father’s condition.
We cannot thank you enough for helping us through this very difficult time.”

Companionship is an essential aspect of human life that plays a significant role in our overall well-being. It refers to the connection, presence and support we experience with others, promoting a healthier and more fulfilling life.
Our carers offer companionship with a comforting presence, engaging in meaningful conversations and activities with individuals we work alongside. We expand opportunities for social engagement, activities, community events and more, with these social connections helping to alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation experienced by our clients.
Feeling less alone is a key element of companionship care, which nurtures and promotes a sense of belonging, where burdens are shared, and problems are solved together.

Our dedicated team members, renowned for their exceptional caregiving, also require personal days and holiday breaks.

Your peace of mind is paramount to us, so we provide the name of the substitute carer to preserve the safety and transparency of your care.
