This guide explores the practical support provided by Hummingbird Senior Support, including domestic help, companionship, meal preparation and more to help ensure families across the South East can access reliable, high-quality senior support.

Finding the perfect senior support for your needs

For the more elderly members of our families, living on their own can be extremely daunting and challenging especially when it comes to looking after their homes and maintaining their independence and dignity. That’s why choosing the right at home help for seniors is so important, ensuring safety, comfort and day-to-day confidence.

At Hummingbird Senior Support we provide experienced, reliable and friendly Domestic Support Staff across Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey, Berkshire and London.

Every member of our senior support staff are fully vetted and personally met and interviewed by an experienced and qualified member of our team, prior to meeting with our families and clients.

Trusted At Home Help for Seniors from Hummingbird Senior Support

Our Senior Support Staff can assist with almost everything except personal care, nursing care or medical support. Their role is to make life easier, safer and more enjoyable—something our clients often describe as a “lifeline.” 

Below is a breakdown of the services our domestic helpers can offer: 

HOUSEWORK

Tasks such as hoovering, dusting, changing bed linen, ironing, cleaning bathrooms and managing laundry can quickly become overwhelming. Our staff ensure homes stay clean, comfortable and welcoming without placing strain on more frail or less-able clients.

MEAL PREPARATION

Good nutrition is essential in later life. Hummingbird Senior Support Staff will prepare meals daily, cook fresh food and ensure that dietary needs are met. This type of elderly care plays a key role in maintaining long-term wellbeing.

SHOPPING

Many seniors struggle to get out to local shops or supermarkets. Our helpers can support with writing shopping lists, escorting clients, helping locate items and unpacking everything once home. This not only improves nutrition but also boosts confidence and independence.

KEEPING APPOINTMENTS

Whether it’s a GP visit, clinic appointment or hospital check-up, our staff will escort clients and ensure family members are kept updated. This kind of assistance can be invaluable when navigating adult social or healthcare services.

SOCIALISING

Promoting good mental health is also vital in elder care as it is an essential factor in staving off depression and illness. Our domestic helpers will encourage the continuation of any social groups and activities by escorting the clients to and from the required location.

COMPANIONSHIP

Sometimes the most meaningful support is simply having someone there. Whether it’s chatting over a coffee, reading together or playing board games, Hummingbird Senior Support companions provide warmth, company and emotional reassurance.

Dedicated, Long-Term Support for Your Loved Ones 

All our Domestic Helpers are self-employed, and each client is matched with a permanent helper. This creates consistency, trust and a strong working relationship, which is something families really value.
