Hi Katherine
We have at times insisted that some residents take on a weekly home help (our local service has some subsidies for those less well off and in need). This has been part of the license in the odd case. We also check that the resident has all the benefits their entitled to to help them pay for this (particularly non means tested attendance allowance)
The home help has also served the purpose of reducing isolation and adding an extra person to keep an eye on the well being of the resident
On occassion we have also paid for a one off clean in advance of this -generally again where a resident has experienced poor mental health, but this needs to be part of a package of other support measures and more regular visits.
Best wishes
Sarah
