About Xtra Healthcare
Xtra Healthcare provides care and support to people in their own homes in Corby and across North Northamptonshire. We support people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability or autism, people living with a mental health condition, adults with a physical disability, and those with a visual or hearing impairment. That is a wide range of people, and the only sensible way to cover it is to begin with the individual rather than the category. We ask what is genuinely hard, what somebody already manages perfectly well and how they would like a visit to go, and we build the plan from those answers rather than from a standard list. Visits can cover help with washing and dressing, prompting and support with medication, preparing meals and drinks, moving safely about the home, laundry, shopping and getting to appointments. For some people the most valuable part is simply that a familiar person arrives when they said they would, notices how things are and has time to talk. We adapt how we communicate to suit the person, because being properly understood is where everything else starts. For people living with dementia that means a calm and unhurried approach and routines that make sense to them rather than to us. We work hard to keep the same small team visiting each household, and we review support honestly when circumstances change. We also stay in contact with families, GPs, district nurses and social workers. If you are looking into care, please contact us and we will talk it through.
