Our Services
Carers
Our carers and nurses are hand-picked for their character and values and are expertly trained to support our clients and their families. We do this to ensure we can closely match their interests, hobbies and personality with yours so they can become the friendly faces you’ll grow to know and trust.
All of our Care Staff are selected based not only on their experience and skills, but most importantly their natural ability to care. We firmly believe that you cannot teach someone to care, it comes from within.
Additionally, through our in-house training held by our Learning & Development Manager, we are able to ensure all staff are up-to-date and knowledgeable in providing the highest standard of care.

All of our care staff carry out specialised training courses in Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia, ensuring they are equipped with the best tools and skills to be able to successfully care for our Clients who are suffering with memory challenges. Rather than focusing on the diagnosis and symptoms, our client-centred care focuses on maximising abilities and maintaining one's sense of self.

Live-In Care
Live-In care at home can often be the ideal solution for those requiring full-time round the clock care. It may be that you or your loved one has been receiving regular care visits throughout the day that are no longer sufficient to meet care requirements, and more care is therefore needed. It may also be for peace of mind by ensuring a trained carer is present 24/7 to provide support and companionship.
A live-in carer provides a stable environment in the home that allows for the consistency of a regular daily routine with a familiar and trusted face. The services included in Live-In care can vary depending on your individual care requirements which are discussed at length during your initial Client Liaison Nurse assessments. Are few ways in which our Live-In care can assist include the following:
Personal Care
The personal care provided by live-in carers can be tailored to include whatever level of assistance you or your loved one needs. It often includes support with incontinence issues, help with washing and general hygiene, dressing, brushing teeth, and shaving. Ensuring that all of our clients are able to maintain as much of their independence as possible is important to us, which is why personal care is delivered in a dignified, discreet, and respectful manner at all times.
Practical Help & Assistance with Day-to-Day Tasks
In addition to personal care, a live-in carer can also carry out domestic tasks such as shopping, light housework, washing, and ironing. Our carers are also happy to accompany you or your loved one to appointments, social events, and daily outings, and may also assist with liaising on your behalf with allied health professionals such as GPs, Pharmacists, & Occupational Therapists, to name a few.
Medication Administration
All of our Carers are trained in the safe administration of medications, and will be able to assist you or your loved one with any daily medication requirements, as well the organisation and collection of medications from the pharmacy if needed.
Meal Preparation
Your live-in carer will aim to plan and prepare nutritious and balanced meals daily, ensuring that you or your loved one are receiving adequate food and hydration throughout the day. It's important that you are able to continue to enjoy the food and comforts that you're used to, and for this reason your live-in carer will work closely with you to establish a meal-plan based on your personal preferences.
Familiar Surroundings
It’s completely understandable that those who have lived in their own home for many years are naturally very reluctant to move, even if they’re aware that they need help with some aspects of their lives. A live-in carer can enable you or your loved one to remain in your home where you feel comfortable and safe.
This is especially important if your loved one has dementia as the condition can often cause upset by changes in environment. A live-in carer can provide dementia care – a higher level of support which helps with some of the specific difficulties and challenges that the condition presents.
We know that having a carer live 24/7 in your home can be an adjustment. We therefore take all of the necessary steps to ensure that we only place a carer who we believe is the right match based on personality and specific care requirements. We will always value your input and be guided by you, and will make every effort to ensure the provision of live-in care is a rewarding and beneficial one.

Support for Neurological Conditions Such as Stoke, Parkinson's Disease, & Motor Neurons Disease
At Angela Hamlin Health Care Professionals, we take a coordinated approach to supporting our Clients with neurological conditions such as Stroke, Parkinson's Disease, and Motor Neurons Disease, and work closely with Allied Health Professionals to manage the complex range of symptoms that individuals can experience.
We understand that recovering from a Stroke or living with a neurodegenerative disease can be as emotionally difficult as it is physically, and we aim to incorporate a holistic and client-centered approach within the support that we provide.
Some ways we can help:
Personal Hygiene, Bathing, & Dressing
When someone is living with a neurodegenerative condition, it can become difficult to accomplish some of the more common tasks we’re used to doing on our own. We can provide assistance with these daily tasks while offering guidance and support to maintain independence.
Practical Help & Assistance with Day-to-Day Tasks
In addition to personal care, our care staff can also carry out domestic tasks such as shopping, light housework, washing, and ironing. Our carers are also happy to accompany you or your loved one to appointments, social events, and daily outings, and may also assist with liaising on your behalf with allied health professionals such as GPs, Pharmacists, & Occupational Therapists, to name a few.
Medication Administration
All of our Carers are trained in the safe administration of medications, and will be able to assist you or your loved one with any daily medication requirements, as well the organisation and collection of medications from the pharmacy if needed.
Meal Preparation
Eating a health diet is important for those with neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's Disease and Motor Neurons Disease. A clean and nutrient dense diet is critical as it helps strengthen muscles and bones while reducing muscles atrophy and excess fat accumulation. With this, your Carer will aim to plan and prepare nutritious and balanced meals daily, ensuring that you or your loved one are receiving adequate food and hydration throughout the day. It's important that you are able to continue to enjoy the food and comforts that you're used to, and for this reason we will work closely with you to establish a meal-plan based on your personal preferences.
Mobility Assistance
Our skilled and specially trained Carers are sensitive to our Client's needs to move and be independent. They provide mobility support in instances when extra help is needed due to muscular stiffness, shakes or tremors, and are able to closely work with Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists to ensure adequate movement and exercise is being carried out in-line with each individual's care requirements and care plan. All of our care staff are trained in safe moving and handling techniques, and are equipped with the skills to operate mobility aids such hoists and standing aids.
Assistance with Higher Care Needs
We understand that with certain neurodegenerative conditions there may be some higher care needs that require support. Examples of these may include:
-
Invasive & Non-Invasive ventilation and respiratory support via tracheotomy or mask
-
Nutrition delivered via Nasogastric Tubes, PEGs, or IVs.
-
Pressure area monitoring, management, and repositioning.
-
Specialist medications via non-oral routes, such as IV or Injection.
Due to AHHCP being unique in our ability to offer both Carers & Registered Nurses, we are able to ensure that we can deliver support that meets all of our Client's care requirements by individuals who are skilled and trained to do so.
Emotional Support for Clients & Families
Neurdegenerative conditions can be emotionally exhausting and physically demanding, which is why we offer support to our Clients and their families through our hands-on care management. At Angela Hamlin Health Care Professionals, our emphasis on balanced, client-centered care, drives our continued goal to always provide a complete and holistic approach to managing and improving the lives of our Clients recovering from a Stroke, or living with a condition such as Parkinson's Disease or Motor Neurons Disease.
