Trained caregiver service
A trained attendant to handle the daily work of caring for someone at home: bathing, feeding, moving them safely, giving prescribed medicines on time and telling you when something changes. Booked by the shift.
Free assessment. We will tell you honestly whether you need an attendant or a nurse.
Quick answer
A patient care attendant, also called a caretaker or home attendant, is a trained caregiver who stays with a patient at home and handles daily living: bathing, dressing, feeding, toileting, moving the patient safely, giving prescribed oral medicines on time and reporting changes to the family. An attendant does not perform clinical procedures such as injections, drips or dressings, which are nursing work.
Who attends
A trained caregiver, police-verified, bonded and insured
How it is booked
By the shift: 12-hour day, 12-hour night or 24-hour cover
Also called
Caretaker for patient at home, home attendant, patient care taker
The work is practical and repetitive, and it is what keeps a dependent patient comfortable, clean and out of hospital. Every attendant follows the care plan agreed with your family.
This is the part families are rarely told before booking. An attendant is a trained caregiver, not a nurse, and there is a firm line between the two. Knowing where it sits saves you from over-booking a nurse for daily care, and from expecting clinical work that an attendant is not qualified to do.
Non-clinical daily care
Clinical procedures, never done by an attendant
An attendant through the day and a nurse visiting for the procedures. We will tell you which combination the patient actually needs before you book anything.
A short version of the decision. If the patient needs help living, book an attendant. If the patient needs a procedure done, book a nurse. If both, book both.
| Patient care attendant | Home nurse | |
|---|---|---|
| Qualification | Trained caregiver | GNM or BSc Nursing |
| Main job | Daily living and comfort | Clinical procedures and monitoring |
| Injections and drips | No | Yes |
| Oral medicines | Gives what is prescribed | Gives and monitors response |
| Bathing and toileting | Yes, this is the core work | Yes, alongside clinical care |
| Usually booked as | Ongoing shifts, weeks or months | Visits, or shifts for serious cases |
| Right when | The patient cannot manage daily life alone | A doctor has prescribed procedures |
Attendant work is almost entirely personal care, so gender matters more here than it does for a nurse who visits to do one procedure. Ask for what suits the patient when you book. There is no extra charge for stating a preference.
The usual request for women patients, and for elderly mothers and grandmothers.
Asked for where the patient is heavy to move, and by men who would rather a man handled personal care.
Chosen by when the patient actually needs somebody there, not by package.

Round the clock
The situations families call us about most. The common thread is dependency rather than a diagnosis.
Bedridden patient care at home is mostly turning every two hours, bed baths, diaper changes and keeping skin intact. It is constant work that wears a family out within weeks.
Bedsore prevention · immobile patients · long-term bed rest
Someone to help the patient wash, dress, reach the toilet and move safely while they cannot bear weight or bend, usually for a few weeks.
Knee and hip replacement · fracture recovery · post-operative help
After a stroke, or with paralysis, the day is mostly transfers in and out of bed, help with eating and washing on the weaker side, and repeating the exercises a physiotherapist has set.
Post-stroke support · hemiplegia · paraplegia
Dementia and Alzheimer's call for a steady routine, watchfulness against wandering, patience with the same question asked ten times, and making sure meals and medicines are actually taken.
Memory loss · Alzheimer's support · Parkinson's
Help with bathing and cooking, medicines on time, fall prevention, company through the day, and someone who calls you if anything changes.
Senior citizen care · caretaker for elderly · home attendant for elderly
Through cancer treatment or at the end of life, comfort-focused daily care that works alongside the nurse and doctor managing symptoms.
Palliative care at home · chemotherapy support · end-of-life care
The first two weeks home are when families struggle most. An attendant covers the daily care while a nurse visits for whatever the doctor prescribed.
Post-hospitalisation care · recovery at home
Caring for someone at home is exhausting. Booking an attendant for a few weeks while you travel or recover is a normal, sensible request.
Respite care · short-term attendant · temporary caretaker
Tell us what the patient can no longer manage alone and we will point you to the right level of help.
