You may be worried about individual needs and preferences being accounted for. Rest assured that from the outset, we’ll get a detailed picture of what you’re looking for, and, because we believe that consistency in care is key, we take the time to ensure we place the right carer in your home.

Dementia Care

At Harley Street Care, we have a wealth of experience supporting Dementia and Alzheimer’s sufferers, selecting long-term carers and nurses that have particular expertise and specialist training. Because all circumstances are unique, our staff will visit you before care commences to fully understand the problems you’re facing. With your input, we’ll tailor a unique care plan to maximise those aspects of life that are still enjoyed, while helping to navigate the developing symptoms.

Consistency of routine and familiarity of surroundings have long been acknowledged as crucial elements in ensuring maximum stability for dementia sufferers. The bond of trust built with an expert carer, in one’s own environment, can help to enable as peaceful a time as possible when faced with this condition.

Parkinson’s Care

When living with Parkinson’s you may face difficult choices regarding whether to live at home, or make the move into residential care. The decision to relocate can cause a sense of losing one’s independence, while remaining at home might present risks concerning health and safety.

Thankfully, there is another way. Harley Street Care for Parkinson’s sufferers works on a scale of need, to support people across the spectrum of Parkinson’s progression. Whether it’s regular check-ins to oversee medication, cook or undertake errands, or, if full-time, live-in care is required, we are here to help. We understand that when managing Parkinson’s, routine is everything. With Harley Street Care you will have a one-on-one relationship with a dedicated and expert carer, in which your welfare will be their sole focus.

From your initial assessment through to continuing care, we offer companionship and a listening ear in times of strain.

Mental Health Care

Mental health problems may leave you feeling alone and isolated, and as many conditions affect the ability to talk to others, giving and receiving therapeutic support can be a challenge. To have the best chance of overcoming mental health problems, you need the right help. At Harley Street Care, our expert staff have the empathy and skills to support people suffering with a wide range of conditions across the spectrum of severity – for example, anxiety, schizophrenia, depression, phobias and obsessive compulsive disorder.

In addition to supervising or administering medication, we help implement positive coping strategies, dealing with emotions and thought patterns. Our nurses and carers encourage the cultivation of boundaries and routine, and provide much-needed companionship at trying times. We’ll work tirelessly to help enable you or your loved one to find the highest level of functioning.

Supervised Care

In cases of addictive behaviour, a period of supervised care can help to kick-start recovery in the best way possible, within the privacy of your own home. At Harley Street Care we are experts in providing compassionate and discreet support. From the initial consultation with our dedicated senior nurse, we’ll take the time to make sure we understand your needs – and work with you to create a uniquely tailored care plan, helping you on your way to well-being.

Harley Street Care offers the highest level of support, developing a unique, personal plan of detoxification, healthy eating or an eating disorder plan of care. We can provide assistance in administering appropriate medication and guide you or your loved one in sticking to agreed goals and boundaries. Our skills and experience include facilitating helpful dialogue with supportive individuals, and offering companionship and empathy during an incredibly stressful period.

“It’s been a hard journey with Thomas’ cancer. But knowing that he was in such good hands made all the difference. I could go off to work and actually concentrate. I think it made a difference for him too, being able to spend time with someone who wasn’t involved – it gave him a break. A big, big thank you.’”(Laura)

“I must admit I was rather nervous at the thought of leaving mum with a stranger. She’s always been very independent and it was a difficult prospect for her too. But you have really made everything so easy. I’m so happy we chose Harley Street Care!”
