Flexible, reliable, thriving
At Walfinch, we believe your care should you fit around you, not the other way around. Hourly home care is a fantastic, flexible option for people who need a touch of support during the day.
You can have as many or as few hourly calls as you want. It’s your care, on your terms.
What can I get during hourly care?
What you want from your hourly care, depends on what you want from your lifestyle. Do you need support with everyday domestic tasks, someone to chat to and spend time with, or support with personal care? We can make your care reflect your needs, designing your care plan to help you get the most out of life.
During their hour-long visits, our Walfinch carers can help you with things like:
- Support with mobility and movement
- Domestic tasks, such as cleaning and meal preparation
- Support with dressing and grooming
- Support with getting in and out of bed
- Medication management
- Support with showering, toileting or eating
- Keeping an eye on your wellbeing
Getting support with some or all of the above, can be your first step to gaining greater independence – all fitting around your schedule.
The world of care is a better place for having Walfinch in it! Kindness is paramount to the ethos of this company and no expense is spared in relation to ensuring that their clients are listened to at every turn. If you require top quality care that gives you and your loved ones comfort and peace of mind, contacting Walfinch will be the best decision you will ever make.

Walfinch’s Activity Promise
For each one hour visit, our carer will promote at least 10 mins of physical activity. That may be something as small as supporting you on a walk around the garden or working together on some seated exercises. We always keep activities realistically suited to our clients’ individual abilities.
If you prefer to thrive in a different way, such as listening to music, we can adapt our promise to reflect that. It’s about finding what makes you tick and doing more of it.
Because it’s never enough just to survive; let’s make it time to thrive.
What do people use hourly care for?
People use hourly care for a variety of reasons, by placing their one-hour visit at different points in the day. For example:
One hour in the morning.
This may be suited to someone who needs support getting out of bed, showering and dressing. During this time, our carers could also prepare breakfast – so you’re set up for the day.
One hour at lunch.
Our carers could spend your 1 hour visit preparing your lunch, helping you with medication, spending quality time with you to boost your wellbeing, and ensuring you are able to fit 10minutes of activity into your day.
One hour in the afternoon.
You may want to use this visit as an opportunity to relax, with our carers supporting you with light household work and spending some quality time with you. Alternatively, the afternoon might be a good opportunity to pop to the shops with the support of our carer. It’s your care, on your terms.
One hour in the evening.
This may be suited to someone who needs support before bed. Our highly trained and compassionate carer could help you with undressing, showering, medication management, and getting into bed.
Why hourly home care?
It’s never been easier to take thriving into your own hands.
Hourly home care offers flexibility and personalisation, as our carers understand the nuances of your individual routines. Investing in outstanding support is your first step to enhancing your quality of life.
Hourly home care can also provide your family with the reassurance they need – we can provide regular updates on your wellbeing and keep them in the loop. That way, they can focus on spending time with you in the ways that truly matter: having a laugh, sharing stories, and thriving together.
Your steps to receiving thriving home care
Unsure of how to go about receiving care, designed to help you to thrive? Below is a series of steps, which many of our clients have already taken.
1. Initial enquiry
You can contact us either through a call, an online form, or sending an email. Once we’ve connected you to your local Walfinch team, we can arrange a friendly meeting.
2. A friendly care assessment
Next, we can meet in-person for a chat. It’s best we visit you athome, if that is where you will generally be receiving care. This assessment gives us a chance to understand your individual situation – not only your needs, but what makes you tick.
3. We create a care plan
Once we’ve met you, we will create a care plan tailored to your needs and goals. We view your care plan as your roadmap to thrive.
3. We start providing your care
We can then start providing care, tailored to you, whether that’s support around the house or getting out and about. It’s your care, on your terms.
5. Provide updates
We can then start providing care, tailored to you, whether that’s support around the house or getting out and about. It’s your care, on your terms.
6. Care that adapts to you
As your needs change or aspects of your care plan need to be adapted, we can do that. You may need greater help with medications or a more complex form of care. We are always on-hand to discuss the best way forward, with either yourself or your loved one.
Start thriving today through quality care
It’s never too early to kickstart your thriving journey. Use your care to take back control over your life and your health – and we can navigate these uncertain times together.
We don’t see care as the end – it’s just the next chapter. In many cases just four hours of care a week has provided transformative results for our clients. It’s never been easier to live better for longer. Through various techniques and approaches to care, tailored around your lifestyle and goals, you can make now your time to thrive.
