Home Care Services

Artisan Aunties provides home care for the elderly and disable that truly makes a difference to people’s lives. Not only do our Aunties and Uncles offer practical support, they also offer emotional support in the form of elderly companionship, always with patience and empathy. We hand pick our staff for their personality, customer service skills and the willingness to go the extra mile for their clients.

Our aim is to provide someone who will brighten up your loved one’s day. To provide happy times and good memories. As the COVID vaccine is rolled out, our Aunties and Uncles can help support older people as they venture out again. Many have lost confidence during lockdown and will need encouragement and support to help them when it comes to going shopping, meeting friends, using public transport etc.

It is likely that, over time, an elderly person will gradually need additional support. Our Aunties and Uncles will be more than happy to adapt their skill set accordingly, and we will provide them with training courses on every aspect of home and personal care. By gradually increasing the level of support given by the same Auntie or Uncle, your loved ones can rest assured that the person providing it is someone they know and trust.

With our live-in service, you are able to stay at home with an Auntie or Uncle to take care of you and run the household. Whether this is a temporary or permanent arrangement, we tailor a flexible package to meet your needs, including concierge care, elder care, personal care, help with medication, mobility, as well as looking after the house and helping out with personal administration such as paying bills and keeping your family up-to-date with how things are going. All our live-in carers are carefully selected for their personal qualities such as patience and kindness, as well as fully trained and upskilled to provide any and all of the services needed, including overnight care packages.

Loneliness is a huge problem if you are isolated at home. With regular visits from an Auntie or Uncle, you can look forward to a chat as well as having some help in the house. Our Aunties and Uncles are happy to help out with the housework, make sure all your appointments are booked and in the diary, or any other little job you need. Ask them to sit down and have a cuppa and a friendly chat and, when it’s safe to do so, they’ll also be happy to take you out on short trips, such as to the shops, a café or the local library.

If the everyday tasks in the house are getting a bit too much, your Auntie or Uncle is happy to help. They can take you to doctors’ appointments, help out with your personal care, as well as cooking, cleaning and washing. If you have pets, they’re there to help keep them happy and healthy (and clean up after them!), including taking your dog out for walks to make sure he/she gets enough exercise. Basically, they look after all the everyday tasks you’re finding difficult, so you, your furry companions and your home are always spick and span.

The ability to get out and about is hugely important in practical and, more importantly, emotional terms. Once the pandemic is over, if you’ve been self-isolating or shielding, you’ll be keen to see the world again. Whether it’s to get out for a drive, have the opportunity to visit shops, potter around garden centres, take a trip to the seaside, or visit your favourite stately home and museum, your Auntie/Uncle would be delighted to accompany you.

Artisan Aunties and Uncles are also happy to look after your house and pets when you’re away. We can team you up with a trustworthy Auntie or Uncle who is a dog-lover and/or cat-lover with experience looking after pets of all shapes and sizes. They are also happy to administer medication or take them to the vet if needed. Their duties are to keep your house clean and tidy, sorting out any maintenance issues that may occur, and their presence adds a layer of security that gives you peace of mind while you’re not there. They are happy to give you as many updates as you’d like, and also send photos of the pets. Plus, they’ll even make sure there’s fresh milk in the fridge for that first cup of tea when you get home.

Childcare and housework can be a huge issue for busy parents, which is why au pairs are so popular. They are a boon to working parents and are willing to take charge of the school run as well as after school activities. How much or how little support they give, and whether they live in or out is entirely up to you – our job is to make sure they are the perfect fit for your family.

Artisan Aunties’ drivers are happy to take you wherever you need to go. They’re also happy to combine driving with other help and support, such as running errands, admin, companionship and more. Using either their own vehicle or yours, they ensure you get to wherever you want to go safely and on time, whether you need to get to an appointment, would like a day trip out, or just a drive around to see what’s been happening in your local area. They always make sure the vehicle is clean, maintained, serviced and fully insured. Wherever you’re going, Artisan Aunties’ drivers can get you there in style!
