Shopping

Your First Choice Home Care carer can take you to the local shops or into town, carrying shopping and putting everything away at home. They can help you write a shopping list, or collect the shopping independently. First Choice Home Care ensures any financial transactions are recorded and transparent through receipts and signed documents.

Personal Care

First Choice Home Care provides personal care assistance with dignity and privacy including bathing, showering, dressing, toileting, incontinence pad changes and specific health-related tasks.

Medication

First Choice Home Care carers may assist with medication, prompting and reminding service users to take prescibed medications. Our care and support workers may only assist with medication that is in a blister pack or dosette box dispensed from a pharmacy or original prescribed medication packets.

Companionship

We can help service users get out and about, enjoying local clubs or excursions. A home 'friendship' visit may be arranged to sit and talk or to motivate and include activities at home, for example play cards.

Meals

Your carer may help with food preparation, cooking, serving meals and drinks. They may encourage eating and assist if necessary, as an agreed part of your tailored care plan. They will also wash-up, put away and empty the kitchen bin.
