Is Ember Home Helpers registered with the Care Quality Commission?

Although Ember Home Helpers carers conduct personal care for many clients, Ember Home Helpers is defined as an introductory agency by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and is not required to register.

As a result of this, we are unable to make changes to a care plan, to recommend the increased frequency of visits or to take responsibility for replacing a care worker for personal care assignments. We are also unable to direct changes to the activity of the carer in relation to Personal Care & Hygiene work. All The PA Company carers are self-employed and are therefore not required to be registered with CQC.

Pet friendly care for your furry companion 🐾

It has been proven that having pets at home can significantly improve quality of life in older age and provide the essential companionship and stimulation that is so important as you grow older.

We understand just how important furry friends can be to a loved one, as a companion, something to fuss over and to talk to, so why should this change in old age?

Our pet friendly home help can support with:
: Feeding
: Walking and light exercise
: Cleaning beds
: Assistance with vet appointments

Don't let having a pet stop you from maintaining independence from the comfort of your much loved home 🏡

🏠 Home Care vs Care Homes - what’s the difference?

Choosing the right care option for yourself or a loved one can be a tough decision. Here’s a quick guide to the differences between Home Care (also known as Domiciliary Care) vs a Care Home:

Home Care:
🏠 Live in 24/7, overnight or hourly care in the comfort of your own home.
🏠 keep up with local friends and hobbies.
🏠 ongoing companionship from a carer chosen by you.
🏠 Personalised one-to-one care from dedicated professionals.

Care Home:
🏨 Residential facility providing 24-hour care.
🏨 Provision of hoists and equipment for complex care needs.
🏨 Rotation of carers who are responsible for many residents.
🏨 Change of lifestyle with set meal times and less flexibility

Both options have their benefits, and the choice depends on individual circumstances.

Loneliness and nutrient deficiency, how could they be linked?

A recent study showed that UK adult who are over 50 and live in isolation are more at risk of lower levels of nutrition.

Crucial nutrients such as; vitamin C, vitamin B6, folate, potassium and magnesium all play vital roles in heart health, cognitive functions, bone strength and skin health.

So, how can we avoid such deficiencies?

Making small changes can make a difference, start adding fruits, nuts, vegetables, fish, seeds, and legumes such as peas, beans, and lentils to your elderly loved ones shopping list!

Our Care Professionals have the unique privilege of supporting older individuals who continue to live at home, often needing just a small amount of assistance 🏡

From accompanying them on outings and doing the weekly shop to providing medication support and personal or dementia care, the care we provide we’d like to think, is similar to what family or friends would provide, if they could.🤝

Great carers are at the heart of what we do. The people you support rely solely on your care and assistance, as do their families and friends. For many older adults living at home, you are the bright, friendly face they look forward to seeing each day 🥰

We also conduct thorough individual interviews.
Over the last 3 years, we have taken on less than 5% of carers that have applied to us.
