About Novel Home Care
Novel Home Care supports people in and around Wincanton to go on living in their own homes. We visit older people who need a hand to stay independent, adults living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, and younger adults whose support has to fit around work, college or family rather than around a rota. We start by asking how someone already lives: when they wake, what they still manage themselves, what has become difficult, and where they would welcome help. From that we agree a plan, which might be a single morning call to get the day started, several visits including help at bedtime, or longer periods of support so that a family carer can work or rest. Personal care, medication, meals, shopping, housework and simple company all have their place in it. Keeping the same carers with the same households is one of the things we work hardest at. In a small Somerset town that is achievable, and it makes a real difference. Personal care is easier to accept from someone familiar, and a familiar carer is the one who notices a missed meal, a new bruise or a mood that has shifted, which is often what prevents a small problem becoming an emergency. Families are kept informed and can ring us when they are concerned. If you are thinking about care at home for yourself or a relative, get in touch and tell us what is happening. We will be honest about whether we are the right fit.
