Recovery Care
Peace of mind and practical help for people wishing to avail of our post-operative/illness recovery care.
Based on 25 years of experience in the caring profession, the Directors of Affinity Plus have created a home support service for all generations. Affinity Plus covers County Kildare and West Wicklow.
Our Recovery Care service can assist you with practical duties which you may find challenging during your recovery period. We pride ourselves in providing exceptional care for our clients. We ensure that our Home Support Assistants are matched with each client individually to enable peace of mind for the client and their family.
Discreet and Professional
The dignity and privacy of our clients is of the highest importance to us.
Our Home Support Assistant will arrive in an unbranded vehicle and will be dressed in smart, casual clothing ensuring complete discretion for our Recovery Care clients. Affinity Plus Home Support Assistants are Garda Vetted and trained to adhere to the highest standards possible.
What Recovery Care Involves
Rehabilitation Exercises
We can encourage and assist with your post-operative exercise programme as designed by your healthcare professional.
Companionship
Through experience we have recognised that companionship can avoid social isolation, maintain social skills and increase a sense of purpose and well-being.
Meal Preparation
Our Home Support Assistants can assist the you with shopping and preparing meals during your recovery period.
Domestic Tasks
Having support with domestic tasks can ease the anxiety of the client. We believe that your home is your haven and it is beneficial to the client to have a clean, safe and healthy living environment.
Medication Prompt
Sometimes this can become a chore for our clients. Although our service is non-medical we can encourage and prompt medication.
Personal Care
It is extremely important for overall health and well-being that high levels of hygiene and personal care are maintained. While we can complete full assistance with personal care, we try to allow the client to remain as independent as possible by also encouraging and assisting.
We can assist with bathing, bed-wash, dressing and toileting and incontinence care.
"Throughout history, 'tender loving care' has uniformly been recognised as a valuable element in healing"
