About Homelium
Homelium Essex provides care and support to people in their own homes in Benfleet and the surrounding part of Essex. We work with older people, younger adults and people living with dementia. Most people come to us because something at home has become harder than it was, and they want help that makes staying there possible rather than a move nobody has chosen. We try to provide exactly that and no more, because doing things for somebody that they can still manage takes something away from them. Everything starts with a visit and an unhurried conversation. What does the day look like now, what has become difficult, and what would the person rather keep doing for themselves. From that we agree who comes, when and what they do, with family or an advocate involved whenever the person wants them there. Visits cover personal care, help with medication, meals and drinks, housework and laundry, shopping, getting to appointments, and company for people whose days have grown very quiet. For those living with dementia we keep the same small team visiting, work at their pace and pay attention to the gradual changes that relatives often notice first. We also support family carers, because reliable help at home is frequently what allows a relative to keep caring without reaching exhaustion. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to talk about support in the Benfleet area.
