What home care services do Unique Homecare provide?

We provide personalised home care including personal care, companion care, specialist dementia care, reablement (post-hospital support), respite care (including short-term live-in), and end-of-life care. We tailor support to routines, preferences, and changing needs.

Which areas in Lancashire do you cover?

We support clients across Lancashire, including areas such as Lancaster, Over Wyre, Longridge, Ribchester, Garstang, and surrounding communities. If you’re unsure, contact us and we’ll confirm coverage.

How quickly can care start?

In many cases, care can start quickly once we’ve understood your needs and completed an initial assessment. If your situation is urgent (hospital discharge, sudden decline, carer burnout), tell us and we’ll prioritise next steps.

What does personal care include?

Personal care can include help with washing, dressing, toileting, mobility support, meal support, prompting or support with medication routines (where appropriate), and day-to-day routines that keep people comfortable and safe at home.

Do you offer specialist dementia care?

Yes. Our dementia support is person-centred, focusing on routine, comfort, communication, and meaningful engagement. We work with families to keep care consistent and reduce distress as needs change.

Can you provide respite care for family carers?

Yes. We provide respite care so family carers can rest, travel, work, or recharge. This can be short visits, longer blocks of support, or short-term live-in care depending on what’s needed.

What is reablement care and who is it for?

Reablement care is short-term support that helps someone regain independence after illness, injury, or a hospital stay. The aim is to rebuild confidence and daily living skills, not create unnecessary long-term dependency.

Do you provide end-of-life care at home?

Yes. We offer compassionate end-of-life support focused on comfort, dignity, and respecting wishes. We also support families with practical and emotional reassurance during an extremely difficult time.

Can you support outings and short breaks?

Yes. Our days away and short breaks support helps clients enjoy safe outings or overnight breaks with a carer, so they can keep living life rather than feeling confined at home.

How does paying for care work?

Costs depend on the level and type of support needed. We’ll talk you through options and help you understand what’s involved, including planning for short-term support and longer-term care.

What makes Unique Homecare different?

We focus on person-first care, routines that protect dignity, and meaningful companionship. We also offer distinctive support options like assisted outings and therapeutic experiences designed to improve wellbeing.

What is the Fell Ponies & Dementia programme?

It’s a therapeutic visit programme where gentle Fell ponies visit people living with dementia. The goal is to spark calm, connection, and positive memories through safe, supervised interaction.
