Blossom Home Care: home care as an alternative to residential care

Blossom Home Care is a British organisation dedicated to adult home care, also known as domiciliary care. Its approach is presented as an alternative to residential care homes: instead of moving the person into an institution, the team brings care into their own home so that the user can retain their independence and their surroundings. The company states that it has delivered over 250,000 hours of home care and has received numerous awards and industry recognitions. Its co-founder is a qualified nurse with experience in a range of care settings, which gives rise to a nurse-led approach.

Home care services

The service catalogue is organised into several levels and types of care. The care options include general home care, emergency care, overnight care, live-in care, respite care for family carers and private care. The company also offers wellbeing and companionship services, such as companionship, home health care, personal care and support with activities of daily living and personal hygiene.
