Be cared for in your own home

Habito is a specialised care service for people who need a lot of care and support with day-to-day life but want to stay in their own home, rather than go to a residential or nursing care home. Caremark's Habito service enables you to remain in your own home, as independently as possible, while being fully supported by a live-in carer.

Within the freedom and safety of your own home, you'll enjoy one-to-one support from a conscientious, friendly and fully trained care and support worker. You'll be able to relax, knowing that there is someone there for you, seven days a week, available whenever you need them, but out of your way when you don't. They can help with your housework, personal care and shopping, or simply provide good company. Live-in care and support workers care for people with the following needs:

• Personal care
• Companionship
• Assistance with medication
• Shopping
• Daily activities
• Cooking meals
• Domestic duties

Reliable, trained carers

All our care and support workers are thoroughly vetted before they start working for us, and pursue comprehensive training. After that they attend annual refresher courses to maintain standards and help them to develop their skills and abilities. Before your care begins, we will agree a personal support plan with you, detailing what kind of care and support you need and what your preferences are.

Your persona care and support workers will be allowed time off, and they will be regularly monitored to make sure they always give the high standard of care that you expect and deserve. You will also have a designated Field Care Supervisor who will review your care satisfaction with you, and will be on hand 24-hours-a-day in case of emergencies and will organize replacements if and when needed.

Your satisfaction and happiness are vital to us

We will match the skills and competences of your care and support workers to your needs. They will respect your dignity, beliefs and freedom of choice, and you will always be able to change any individual that you don't feel compatible with for any reason.
