Visiting and live-in care in Godalming
At Novus Care, we believe that needing extra support at home shouldn’t mean sacrificing your independence. Choose our Godalming home care service and you’ll get flexible, one-to-one support to help you live well and live independently at home.
It all starts with a free care assessment. We’ll discuss your requirements with you and your family, then draw up a unique care plan focused on your needs and goals. Then, we’ll match you with a carer who clicks with your personality and understands the kind of support you need to live life your way.
Our local care services range from occasional home visits to 24/7 live-in care for complex conditions – whatever you need to feel safe, comfortable and independent. We also offer respite care, overnight care and palliative care in Godalming, as well as condition-led care for a variety of medical conditions.
What will my live-in carer do?
Your live-in carer is there to help you stay comfortable and do more of the things you love. This might be as simple as helping with housekeeping and meal prep, or as complex as providing one-to-one health care for a long-term condition. Our carers can also accompany you on appointments and help you get around safely at home. All are trained in manual handling techniques and the use of mobility equipment.
Below, we’ve listed some of the tasks your carer can help with.
• Jobs around the house (preparing meals, mopping, vacuuming, gardening, etc.)
• Accompanying you to the shops, social events and doctors’ appointments
• Companionship (offering a friendly face and a listening ear)
• Health care (administering medication, managing stomas or catheters, etc.)
• Complex care (specialised care for long-term health conditions)
• Personal care (washing, grooming and toileting)

Godalming live-in care FAQs
Who will provide cover when my carer takes a break?
Your live-in carer will take 14 hours of short breaks each week, as well as longer breaks every three to six weeks. Your local care team will organise a replacement carer to cover the longer breaks. We can also provide carers to cover the short breaks. However, this comes at an additional cost.
Can my carer help with pet care?
We’d be happy to provide a carer who can help care for your pet, so long as you’ve stipulated this in your care plan. If you need help with pet care, we’ll be sure to match you with an animal-loving carer.
What other household tasks can my carer help with?
Along with providing personal care, health care and companionship, your carer can prepare meals and help with light housework. That includes jobs like washing clothes, mopping floors, polishing furniture and vacuuming.
Can I specify a female carer? Or a male carer?
Yes. If you’d be more comfortable with a carer of a certain gender, we’d be more than happy to arrange this for you.
Will you arrange a replacement if I don’t get on with my carer?
Yes. However, we carefully match our clients with carers who share their interests and outlook on life. That makes a personality clash very unlikely.
