About Humanicare
Humanicare provides care and support to people in their own homes in Street and across Somerset. We work with older people, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. Most people who come to us want to stay where they are. In their own house, with their own things around them and their own way of doing the day, helped just enough to make that safe. Our job is to provide that help without taking over somebody's household. We start with a visit and a proper conversation about what has actually become difficult. It is often not what families assume. Sometimes it is washing and dressing, sometimes medication or meals, sometimes getting out to an appointment, and sometimes it is simply that the house has become very quiet. The plan follows from that conversation and is revised as needs change. We keep the team around each person small, because being helped by somebody who already knows you is most of what makes home care bearable. For people living with dementia and for people who cannot see well, a familiar voice at the door counts for a great deal. Our care staff are trained for the people they actually visit, including moving and handling where that is needed, and they are given time to do the job rather than rushed to the next call. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please call us if you would like to talk things over.
