Arthritis Care
Arthritis Care
Living with arthritis can make daily tasks painful and challenging. We understand just how much difference a little gentle help can make. Shirecare provides kind, compassionate home care focused on easing pain, supporting mobility, and empowering you to maintain comfort and independent living right there in your own home.
How Shirecare can help
We offer tailored home visits designed to help people managing various forms of arthritis. Our aim is to provide practical assistance with routines that may cause pain or strain, such as getting dressed or preparing meals.
By providing consistent, thoughtful home visits, we help save your energy, allowing you to focus on the things you enjoy most, promoting a high quality of life.
Managing Arthritis at home
Great arthritis care is simply about focusing on your comfort and helping your joints work smoothly. Our caregivers provide gentle personal care and assistance with moving around, using techniques that respect painful joints and prevent unnecessary strain.
We support you in following your prescribed pain management plan and gently encourage activities that promote flexibility. We help adapt your domestic environment to be as easy to live in as possible, ensuring comfort is prioritised throughout your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do your carers help me manage pain during the day?
Our carers provide reliable support by helping you take prescribed oral pain relief on time. They can also assist with non-medication pain relief techniques, such as applying heat packs, gentle massage, or helping you move into a more comfortable position.
Can your team assist with specific mobility aids around the house?
Yes, our carers are trained to safely assist you with all types of mobility aids, including walking frames, wheelchairs, and grab rails. They ensure you use them correctly to prevent falls and unnecessary strain on your joints.
What if I have difficulty dressing or bathing due to joint stiffness?
Our service includes sensitive personal care assistance. Carers use adaptive techniques and pacing to help you dress, groom, and bathe at a comfortable speed, minimising the strain on painful joints.
Do your carers just do physical tasks, or do they offer companionship too?
We offer fully holistic support. While we provide physical assistance, our visiting care always includes social companionship. Our staff are friendly faces who reduce isolation and share conversation or quiet time.
How quickly can you put a care package in place for me?
We understand that the need for support can be urgent. After your initial enquiry, we work quickly to conduct an assessment and aim to put a safe, tailored care package in place as soon as possible.
