Live-in & Home Care
Visiting care, from a check-in to several calls a day
Planned visits that fit around the life someone already has — as little as half an hour in the morning, or several calls a day.
Support that flexes with the week
Not everyone needs someone in the house all the time. For a lot of people the right answer is a visit at the start of the day to get up, washed and dressed, and perhaps another in the evening.
Visiting care is easy to start small and easy to increase. Many of our packages begin with a single morning call and grow from there as needs change.
We build the rota around the person's own routine rather than ours — if they have always got up at half past nine, we come at half past nine.
Home Care may be right if…
- Someone needs help getting up, washed or dressed
- Medication is being missed or muddled
- Meals are being skipped
- A family carer needs regular, reliable cover
- Confidence has dropped after a fall or an illness
- Living alone is becoming isolating

Why Bellus
Reliable, and the same faces
The two things that go wrong with visiting care are lateness and unfamiliarity. We plan rounds so calls happen when they are meant to, and we keep the same small team wherever we can.
