Visiting Care

Flexible, reliable home visits that fit your day.

For many people, home isn’t just a place — it’s part of who they are: memories, routines, and a sense of self. It’s where life feels safest and most in control. When needs change, that connection matters more than ever. 


That’s why our visiting care services are designed to fit your day, not the other way around. Whether it’s help getting up in the morning, support with medicines, preparing meals, or simply a friendly chat and wellbeing check, we provide personalized care when you need us — mornings, lunchtime, teatime, evenings, or bedtime — so you can keep living on your terms. 


At Greenwich Home Care, you’ll see the same small, trusted team who know your preferences and respect your independence. Each visit is focused, unhurried, and person-centred: practical help, warm companionship, and clear communication with family (with your consent). With us, you’re never just on a rota — you’re genuinely cared for.

Is visiting care right for you?

 Visiting care suits people who want:


Help with specific tasks at set times (mornings, lunchtime, evenings, or bedtime)
 

Short, focused support after a hospital stay or during recovery
 

Regular companionship, gentle prompting, and reassurance for family
 

A service that can flex up or down as needs change
 

Common reasons include dementia support, mobility or balance issues, medication routines, personal care, meal preparation, and support for family carers who need a break

What we help with on a visit

 Personal care: washing, dressing, continence care, oral care, skincare
 

Medication: prompts or administration per the assessed plan
 

Meals & drinks: safe hydration, cooking, nutritional support, cultural preferences
 

Mobility & transfers: safe moving and handling, short walks, exercise prompts
 

Companionship: conversation, activities, wellbeing check-ins
 

Household tasks: light housekeeping, laundry, bed-making, bins
 

Errands & appointments: prescriptions, shopping, accompanying to appointments (by arrangement)
 

Specialist needs: dementia-capable support; end-of-life care in partnership with NHS community teams
 

Clinical procedures (e.g., specific dressing changes) are provided only where assessed, risk-managed, and the care worker is trained and signed off. We’ll be clear about what we can safely offer.

How visiting care works with Greenwich Home Care

Free assessment: we listen to what matters to you—routines, preferences, and outcomes in our home care services. 


Personalized care plan: clear goals, risk assessments, and visit instructions tailored to your needs. 


Scheduling: visits at agreed times (including mornings, lunch, teas, evenings, or bedtime) for your convenience. 


Care worker match: we ensure a fit in skills, experience, interests, and personality for our visiting care services. 


Review & adjust: regular checks and open communication with you and your family to ensure the best care. 


Our care workers are safely recruited, enhanced DBS-checked, trained, supervised, and supported by our leadership team.

Visit lengths and frequency

We tailor visit schedules to your day. Typical patterns include:


Morning personal care and breakfast support
 

Lunch visit for meals and medicines
 

Tea-time wellbeing check and hydration
 

Evening or bedtime support
 

Add-ons: occasional extended visits, escort to appointments, or temporary extra calls after hospital discharge
 

We’ll plan timing and duration during your assessment so the right things are done well—not rushed.

Digital care notes & family updates

We use secure, real-time care records for our home care services. With your consent, authorized family can access visit outcomes, notes, and follow-ups related to your personalized care and visiting care.

Respecting your home and choices

Your home, your rules. We agree house preferences (pets, mealtimes, faith/cultural needs, privacy boundaries). Our care workers follow a professional code of conduct at all times.

Safeguarding & quality

Greenwich Home Care provides exceptional home care services regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). We implement robust policies for medicines, safeguarding, infection prevention, and moving-and-handling to ensure our clients receive personalized care. Full versions of these policies are maintained internally and are available to inspectors upon request.

Fees & funding

 We provide a personalised quote after assessment—no obligation and clearly itemised. Fees reflect the number and length of visits, time of day, complexity, and any enhanced skills required. If your care is funded or part-funded by the local authority or NHS, we can coordinate with commissioners where appropriate.
