Our Mission

We believe everyone deserves a chance at high-quality healthcare. Hence, we aim to empower you and other elderly to live comfortably and independently in their homes while receiving impeccable healthcare service that meets their needs and preferences.

Our Core Services

At Support Network, we offer various services tailored to each individual's unique needs. Some of our services include;

• Personal Care Assistance

  We have experienced support carers in our network who assist people with personal hygiene tasks like washing, grooming, and dressing. Our workers' sole aim has always been and will always be to promote dignity and increase confidence in patients while respecting individual preferences.

• Domestic Assistance

  Amidst other responsibilities, taking care of the home can be a difficult task. Keeping the home clean and organised is hard. However, our support workers are available to help with these household tasks.

  Whatever the task—laundry, wall cleaning, tile washing, or even meal prep—you can trust our team of esteemed workers to rise to the occasion.

• Social and Community Engagement

  Staying socially connected is important to achieve a great quality of life. Connecting with friends and other members of the community can promote a patient's emotional well-being and stabilise their mental health.

  Our support workers ensure you remain socially active and, when it comes to worse, can accompany you to community events and social outings and even help you fulfil your hobbies, accomplish your bucket list, and execute other tasks in the home.

• Respite Care for Our Caregivers

  Our HR team prioritizes a healthy work/life balance in our work rotation. We see to it that our aged care providers overworked while also ensuring that every of our clients continually receive top-notch and genuine care.

  Hence, if your primary caregiver needs a few days off to rest, we can easily link you with a temporary support worker to ensure your routine streak is not affected. We understand how a slight shift in routine can cause recovery setbacks, so we ensure not to be a party to that.

• Ease of Transport

  Some of our support workers offer transportation services within Preston. So getting around within the community is no challenge. You can get your medications and supplies, run errands, attend your AA meetings, and even attend your social gatherings with ease. We help you stay mobile and involved in community activities.

• Clinical and Allied Health Support

  Our support services provide access to clinical and allied health professionals who can offer specialised care services.

  We can connect you with qualified nurses to help you with nurse triage, wound care, and we can also ensure you don't miss your clinical appointments.

  The Allied health professionals in our network includes a wide collection of health professionals who are available to cater for all your medical needs. Occupational therapists, psychologists, podiatrists, physiotherapists, and exercise physiologists are always available to assess your well-being frequently and when due.

• Customised Care Plan for Improved Recovery

  At Support Network, we put the needs of our clients above ours. We do not micromanage. Our platform is not a one fits all approach. We understand that every client's needs are different. And while respecting that uniqueness we make plans to cushion it.

  What we do is that we recommend working closely with a registered nurse and a case manager who develop a care plan that is tailored to your needs.

  One benefit of the personalised plan is that it ensures every aspect of your care is well-addressed. Right from daily assistance to specialised therapy till you recover.

  Another benefit is that it ensures our range of services suits your budget conveniently.

  The personalised plan also covers individuals who do not have any ailment or underlying health condition but just need companionship.

1. Certified and Experienced Professionals

Our platform gives you access to lots of support workers with diverse specialties. Likewise, we boast of professional health workers all of whom are board-certified, trained, and vetted to deliver quality care anywhere in the country.

We don't hire quacks. All our workers are experts and specially trained to carry out their expected duties effectively.

2. Ease of Service

While we administer the best healthcare services, we understand that life can be unpredictable, and care needs can change from time to time depending on factors beyond human control.

This is why we offer flexible care options, which allow you to communicate directly with your care team.

We are not a third party. You have access to your team whenever you need their service.

4. Less stress

In addition to fixing your funds, our support workers can also help you run petty administrative tasks, which reduces the stress on you and keeps you focused.

If an addict under the pretense of going to sort some official duties usually finds themselves where they get knocked up on drugs or drinks, we can attach a support worker who will carry out these tasks for them and ensure the client is within the confinement of where there is little to zero chance of relapse.

5. Local expertise

Our workers are homegrown. They are familiar with the terrain and the whole community. So they are closer to you than you can ever imagine. Finding help close to home has never been easier.

Also, you do not have to spend extra money on local guides to show your support workers around the town since they live in Preston. Likewise, their cost of transportation won't make your bill bulky, unlike having to hire a support worker far away from Preston.

6. Reduced Cost

Our support workers also live in your community. That way, you can eliminate transport charges and enjoy all-time healthcare service. In addition, hiring our support workers instead of the conventional traditional care providers cuts your costs. Charges like admin fees are reduced to enable you to have more funds to cater for other needs.

7. Empathy

Our platform is an intuitive and user-friendly one that gives you the luxury of meeting and hiring your ideal care professional.

We don't let you get stuck with a caregiver you don't like. You have the chance of selecting who should take care of you and how.

8. Call the Shots

With us, for your convenience, you are in control of your support plan. You stand the chance of hiring your support worker. We don't impose support workers on you. You get to choose who you want. That way, you are hiring an independent support worker.

An independent support worker is a caregiver who works independently. This means that we at Support Network cannot influence their billables and pay rates, choose where they stay, and determine how well they discharge their services to you. It is you and they alone, without our interference, which we do not mind.

While we do not usually recommend this, our clients are at liberty to choose that option.

Otherwise, they can settle for the support workers registered on our platform. These workers are assigned to clients based on their level of expertise and depending on the needs of the client.

Most times, they are shuffled within our platform to make them flexible to provide adequate support whenever you need them.

The benefits of choosing our support workers over independent support workers are;

2. You will be able to access professionals easily.

3. There is no overburdening on your end as our workers take care of everything. From your health down to your fund management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We have a robust system of support workers who are well-versed in their chosen specialties. If you need a Psychiatrist to tend to you, we have them on standby. We are involved in everything, including personal well-being. We are an all-around healthcare support system for those in need in Preston.

With your permission, we can also recommend a couple of mental health support groups. Belonging to a support group can be very beneficial for an individual's mental state.

Support workers are available to provide emotional and physical support to our clients who might need assistance due to their health status (mental or illness), age, or any form of disability. They are split across different sectors that need them.

They perform household duties, help with mobility, offer companionship, monitor clients' health, assist with medication and appointment reminders, and so on.

In addition, they serve as accountability partners by supporting clients in their recovery phase to learn new skills that will aid their independence.

One effective way our support workers track accountability is by keeping records. Daily, they document the client's process, tasks, responsiveness, changes in condition, fatalities during practice, etc.

They also ensure that erring clients are reported to the healthcare professionals or supervisors when they start showing a lackadaisical attitude towards recovery or becoming independent.

Health workers are the professionals who provide health services to you. For instance, physiotherapists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, psychologists, podiatrists, exercise physiologists, and so on are all healthcare workers. They are also called Allied health professionals.

They are board-certified and licensed to treat you, prescribe drugs, carry out therapy sessions, and so on for clients who need them. They offer clinical treatment.

Regardless of how groomed a support worker is or their certifications, such as Mental Health First Aid or membership in the Red Cross, they cannot perform the core duties of an allied health professional.
