Here at Domestique we offer so much more than just cleaning services. Alongside our domestic cleaning, house clearance, and gardening services we also offer nationwide Help at Home services that deliver help to those who need it most in our communities.
Avoiding loneliness during the festive season is just as important as maintaining a clean and happy home - particularly for those of us who find it difficult to leave our homes or suffer from loneliness. So, let’s take a look at how our initiative is connecting the most vulnerable members of our society with the support and care that they need during the festive season.
Our Help at Home Services
If you, or someone you know, is finding it hard to stay on top of their day-to-day cleaning tasks, then our vital support services are here to help. They include support with everyday household tasks to make life a little easier, but they also extend to ongoing companionship and assistance with attending events, which is often needed around Christmas time.
Many of our clients who require these services are elderly or vulnerable, and this is a particularly difficult time of year for many of these individuals. Whether they have lost loved ones, suffer with mental health issues, or have family that live far away, our support can be a lifeline for those in need.
So, whether this is a family member, a friend, or simply someone in your local community that is in need, our packages can include the following services:
1. Cleaning Support
Just like our regular cleaning packages, our at-home package includes essential day-to-day cleaning that becomes even more important during the winter months.
From hoovering all the carpets and dusting all the surfaces, to cleaning light switches and sanitising the bathrooms, our aim is to maintain a safe home that is free from any seasonal illnesses or threats to health. We also offer our specialist oven, carpet, mattress and window cleaning services as part of this package, so that our clients can focus on enjoying a cosy winter at home without the stress of deep cleaning.
2. Household Support
The colder weather and reduced daylight hours make it harder for individuals to leave their homes and keep on top of their household tasks, particularly for those with busy schedules or mobility concerns.
These tasks can soon pile up and feel unmanageable, which is why our home support team can also carry out a range of tasks on behalf of our clients including shopping, meal preparation, and even the washing up. We are also able to provide assistance with managing household bills if required and our core aim is to reduce the stress caused by these daily challenges for our clients.
3. Pet Care
Our pet care services are available all year round, but they become particularly important during the winter when the weather makes it difficult to give our furry friends the exercise that they need.
From at-home pet care to regular dog walking, our team provides companionship and care for cats, dogs, and any other household pets so that their owners can enjoy Christmas with the guarantee that their animals are receiving the care that they deserve.
4. Companionship
This is where our at-home services truly make a difference across our local communities. Our companionship services can include a range of activities and support services and they take shape based around the unique needs of each individual.
For some, this may look like a weekly home visit just to check in, whilst for others it may become a trip out or a visit to a local day centre. We aim to strike the right balance between fostering connections and encouraging our clients to enjoy their independence and keep active, and our support is tailored to the needs of each individual and their families.
5. Social Activities
Finally, our Help at Home services always aim to do what is best for our clients, and for many this is staying connected to their community and spending quality time with the people they love.
This is particularly true over Christmas when companionship and connection mean the most to all of us, and why we are dedicated to supporting clients’ wellbeing by keeping them connected to others. We can arrange visits to see friends or family, as well as outings to local events or social occasions, to support our clients to maintain their relationships and enjoy a Christmas surrounded by community and care.
