Homemakers of Hamberley
We believe it’s the people that make a loving home. That’s why our carers are so much more – they are Homemakers.
The Homemakers of Hamberley from Hamberley Care Homes.
What is a Homemaker?
A Homemaker is a ‘universal worker’ role which means our Homemakers are carers, housekeepers and companions all in one.
- Homemakers provide care and support for our residents, including administering medicine under the guidance of our clinical team
- Homemakers take care of the general day to day housework
- Homemakers offer companionship and take an interest in the lives of our residents, supporting them with their choice of lifestyle and wellbeing
What does a Homemaker do…?
…whatever is needed to support our residents to live the life they choose.
Daily activities include but are not limited to:
- General tidying and help to keep rooms looking their best
- Assisting residents with personal hygiene
- Administering medication and monitoring resident’s wellbeing
- Helping to organise a day trip or a shopping visit for a resident
- Supporting residents with their mobility needs
- Being a friend and a companion
What are the benefits of our award-winning model of care?
Our Homemakers operate under the expert guidance of our nursing team, who are on site 24 hours a day, ensuring that an exceptional culture of care exists. As our residents’ needs change we adapt the level and type of care to suit them. As well as providing guidance and support to our Homemakers, our nurses are on hand to monitor and assess our residents.
By identifying changing medical needs early, before they cause discomfort, we can significantly reduce hospital admissions. This also means we can reduce any additional stress or disruption to daily life that often delays recovery. Our unique approach ensures our residents receive continuity of care within a homely environment and families feel secure that their loved one’s changing needs can be met.

QUESTIONS ABOUT CARE
What is a Homemaker?
A Homemaker is a ‘universal worker’ role which means our Homemakers are carers, housekeepers and companions all in one. Hamberley’s Homemakers get to know each and every resident, so they understand precisely how to make their lives more content based on their unique wants and needs.

Our Homemaker model makes the experience for residents a lot more like living in their own home. Within a family environment typically everyone shares responsibility for looking after each other and this creates a really nurturing, caring space. In many care homes, this feeling or attitude is lost - in Hamberley homes, we have genuine home-like communities where people want to live and work.
This model of care also means that residents have the best chance of experiencing truly person centred care – support that is tailored to their individual needs.
