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.

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 across North Yorkshire and Cumbria, including enabling care in Harrogate and Knaresborough, and enabling care in Richmond and Richmondshire, including Catterick. Whether recovering from illness, living with a disability, or needing an extra helping hand, including specialist enabling support for visual or hearing impairments, we are here to help.
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, which can be important for people managing long-term mental health conditions.
- 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

We can also help with mobility aids, transfers, and physical guidance to encourage independence where possible.

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.
