Red Sails Homecare Ltd
Personalised live-in care in your own home. Short & long term.What does it do?
Red Sails provides a live-in care service for clients in their own homes which is tailored to each individual’s needs.
We focus exclusively on live-in care which could range from: a few days to a few months for short term care,
or it could be on an on-going basis.
Short term and respite care.
We provide care for people who have experienced an injury or illness and who require care for a period of recuperation.
Red Sails also supplies one-off or regular relief for a family member or regular carer when they need a break
Long term care
We provide care for those who, through age or infirmity, are not coping with day to day living and need assistance
for the long term.
We typically place carers on a fortnightly basis. We endeavor to establish a rotation of a small team of selected carers providing a continuous service which encourages familiarity and as little disruption as possible.
Care services are tailored to the client’s requirements and can cover:
Housekeeping and household duties – which could include meal preparation, shopping, laundry, housework, companionship and care of family pets
Personal care – assistance with rising and retiring, washing and bathing, assistance with medicines and those small services which the client may require
High Personal care– where there are more duties required
On request we can provide carers who will drive the client’s vehicle.
All our carers undergo a CRB/DBS (police clearance) check and are screened and interviewed carefully so that we can provide professional and compassionate carers who will fit in with our client’s lifestyle.
We listen carefully to our client’s and endeavor to visit them in their home to gain a good understanding of each client’s needs.
We find that these needs vary. It may be that they would like their carer to share in their day, maybe reading out loud, accompanying on walks and social visits.
On the other hand, some clients want their carer to be on standby until a task needs attending to.
Reds Sails prides itself on offering a personalised and friendly service where our clients feel comfortable and at ease.

What it costs:
As a general rule, Live-in care compares favourably to the costs of residential care homes.
Costs vary depending on the number of people, the level of care required, the location and other factors.
When a full picture of the required level of care has been defined the costs are discussed and agreed.
The total cost of care varies between about £580 and £770 per week.
The client is also responsible for the travelling expenses of the carer and providing the carer with meals & accommodation.
A full schedule of costs is available on application.
Funding for care can be applied for from government and local sources which we encourage the client to pursue.
