Most of what our carers do is the same whatever the diagnosis. Tell us what a normal week looks like and what has got harder. We’ll be straight with you about whether we can help.

What our carers do, and the three things they don’t

Day to day, our carers help with

  • Washing, dressing and personal care

  • Meals and drinks

  • Medication prompts and reminders

  • Getting about the home safely

  • Company and a settled daily routine

  • Getting to appointments

  • Light housework and laundry

  • A break for family carers

Our carers don’t give injections, dress wounds or administer insulin.

Those three stay with the GP or public health nurse.

For everything else, talk it through with your care manager.

They’ll tell you plainly what a carer can take on.

“Our Dad’s carer did an incredible job connecting with him emotionally, offering the most compassionate care we could ask for.”

“United Irish Healthcare have been beyond any of my expectations. UIH had us sorted in a matter of hours. I cannot thank Daniel, Olivia and Jean enough. Highly recommend.”
