Enabling Homecare
We understand that care needs are often complex and multifaceted. As such, our enabling care services can be used in conjunction with our other care services at home.
Read on to learn more about our enabling homecare solutions, and don’t hesitate to get in touch with your nearest Nuliving branch for more information.
What is Enabling Care?
Enabling care is designed to help service users live as normal and independent a life as possible, from the comfort of their own home and within their community.
Enabling homecare can be transformative for those struggling to cope with old age, disabilities, temporary injury and illnesses, and the main goal of enabling care is to help service users maintain their independence and enjoy life fully.
Examples of enabling care and home support services
Enabling care services are designed to support individuals managing their daily routines while staying active, connected, and as independent as possible.
We offer enabling care services to all ages, whether you or a loved one is recovering from an illness, living with a disability, or needs an extra helping hand.
Here are just some common examples of the enabling care needs we can assist with:
- Support with personal care, including washing, dressing, and grooming assistance.
- Medication prompts and management.
- Assistance with mobility or physical tasks around the home.
- Help with cooking, cleaning, and household chores.
- Accompaniment to medical appointments, social gatherings, and community events.
- Encouragement and support to pursue hobbies, interests, and activities.
- Help with shopping, life errands, and using public transport.
- Technological support to maintain connections with friends and family.
- Emotional support and companionship to reduce feelings of isolation.
- Building confidence to carry out daily tasks independently.

How we deliver our enabling homecare services
Personal Care and Mobility Support
Our private carers in Carlisle are fully trained and qualified to help with personal care tasks, including washing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. All of which are carried out with the utmost dignity, compassion, and respect at all times.
We can also help with mobility aids, transfers, and physical guidance to encourage independence where possible.
Medication Support and Management
We understand that staying on top of medication can be challenging, especially when dealing with multiple prescriptions for different ailments. Our care team can offer support in the form of reminders, prompts, and safe handling practices for peace of mind — for you and your family.
Help Around the Home
Whether you need a hand with cooking, cleaning, washing, or food shopping, we can help you or your loved one maintain a clean and comfortable living space. We will work closely with the service user to ensure they stay as involved in home management as they wish, offering enhanced confidence and a sense of routine.
Companionship, Social Engagement and Outings
Social connections are integral for a positive sense of wellbeing. Our enabling care professionals will act as a genuine companion, whether it’s a friendly chat over a cup of tea, a competitive game of Scrabble, connecting to a Skype call or FaceTime with family, or watching a favourite TV show side by side. We also encourage social activities by helping service users attend community groups, appointments, and events that bring them joy and happiness.
Emotional Wellbeing Support
Living at home alone can feel isolating, especially if it’s hard or impossible to go outside due to an illness, injury or disability. Our care team go beyond the surface of our services, building strong connections with our service users. We aim to reduce feelings of loneliness wherever possible, acting as reliable and trustworthy companions at all times.
