At Hamberley, our innovative, award-winning model of care is built around our Homemakers - a carer with a difference.
Homemakers provide relationship-centred care that is tailored to the unique requirements of each person, prioritising their individual needs. We’re here to support our residents to continue living life in the way that they want to - with as much or as little support as they need.
The Homemaker is a universal role – it differs from the traditional care worker role by including the responsibilities of housekeeping and companionship, as well as care. This innovative approach allows Homemakers to provide gap-free care, holistically supporting our residents instead of only fulfilling certain elements of care.
Living our pledge to deliver 'Extra Special, Every Day', our Homemakers are here to focus on the tiny details of daily life that matter most. Our promise is to make each day and each everyday experience, meaningful and special for our residents.
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's award-winning homes, we have genuine home-like communities where people want to live and work.
The Homemaker 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.
The daily activities of our Homemakers are designed to provide a warm, welcoming environment for our residents. They include general tidying and ensuring rooms are kept at their best, creating a clean and comfortable space for residents. Our Homemakers also assist residents with personal care, an essential aspect of maintaining their wellbeing and dignity. They are responsible for administering medication and closely monitoring the wellbeing of each resident, ensuring their health needs are met promptly and effectively.
But our Homemakers' roles go beyond basic care. They help organise day trips or shopping visits for residents, making everyday activities enjoyable and manageable. They also support residents with their mobility needs, aiding them in moving around and increasing their independence.
Homemakers play an important role in supporting residents to develop meaningful friendships within the home and enjoy social networks within the wider community.
Above all, our Homemakers are friends and companions to our residents, providing emotional support and a sense of community, which is vital for overall happiness and wellbeing.
We have all been so impressed with the care that my mother-in-law has received. We cannot fault the staff in any way. They are caring, friendly and professional at all times. 'Homemakers' sums the staff up perfectly. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
Wonderful, caring staff at Montague House. Mum has lots of positive and well-run activities that have transformed her life. In very difficult circumstances with care needs, we all have positivity back. The facilities are smart, modern and cosy too. It feels like a real home.
