Services We Support With

At Hartley Group, we provide personalised home care designed around each individual’s needs, preferences, routines, and goals. Our aim is to help people remain safe, comfortable, and as independent as possible in their own homes.
Care can be arranged as a short visit, regular daily support, overnight assistance, or a more comprehensive package, depending on the individual’s circumstances.

Care professionals must only provide medication assistance within their training, competence, and agreed responsibilities. They should not diagnose conditions, change dosages, or give medical advice.

Care professionals can support clients with safe movement around the home, where this is included in their care plan and staff have received appropriate training.
This may include:

Any equipment or transfer method should be assessed and used correctly. More complex moving and handling may require specialist assessment and additional training.

Support after illness or hospital discharge

Returning home after illness, an operation, or a hospital stay can be challenging. Short-term care may help an individual regain confidence and manage daily routines.
Support could include:

Support may include:

Live-in care arrangements should clearly define working hours, rest periods, accommodation, responsibilities, and the level of support required.

Escorting and community access

Remaining active in the community can support confidence, independence, and wellbeing. Care professionals may accompany clients to agreed activities and appointments.
This could include:

Any transport, mileage, parking, or admission costs should be discussed and agreed in advance.

End-of-life and palliative support

Where appropriately trained and within the agreed service scope, care professionals may provide compassionate support to individuals and families during the later stages of life.
This may include:

End-of-life care must be carefully assessed and coordinated with the appropriate clinical professionals.

Flexible care packages

Care needs can change over time. A client may begin with a small number of weekly visits and later require additional support, or they may only need short-term assistance while recovering from illness.
Care packages can be reviewed when circumstances change, including:

Every package should be reviewed regularly to ensure it remains safe, suitable, and person-centred.

Our approach to care

Whatever support is arranged, our approach is based on:

We begin by understanding the individual, their needs, and the outcomes they want to achieve. We then work with them and, where appropriate, their family or representatives to create a suitable care plan.
