Mobility Care
Find quality Mobility Care in the comfort of your own home.
What is Mobility Care?
Mobility Care at Home is available for people living with reduced mobility who require additional assistance completing daily tasks. Whether you or your loved one struggles with mobility issues due to a disability or a condition, or simply as a consequence of growing older, we can help.
Mobility concerns are more common as we get older, and a lack of freedom of movement can be frustrating. As we age, physical problems such as arthritis, diabetes, heart issues, or surgeries, such as hip or knee replacements, can all affect mobility. This can result in lack of confidence in carrying out usual activities and tasks, especially if there’s a risk of falling or injury.
Mobility help at home enables a person to do as much as they can independently, with the right level of care and support. Whether you need help with mobility due to a restricting health condition or general frailty, our compassionate Mobility Care provides support in the comfort of home. Each person’s safety is our number one priority.
We’ll work with you to create your care plan, giving you choice over how you live. Our Home Carers are available to support and enable your mobility so you can undertake tasks with confidence and reassurance.
How can Mobility Care help?
It’s important to be aware of a decline in mobility and understand when mobility assistance may be required. Mobility limitations are increasingly common in older people, affecting about 35% of people aged 70 and most people over 85 years. Mobility limitations have been associated with an increased risk of falls, hospitalisation, decreased quality of life, and even mortality.1
Common signs of mobility issues are:
Decreased mobility can often be due to muscle weakness, swollen ankles or joint problems because of aging, illness or injury. However, neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s can also be contributing factors to mobility impairment.
Having a Carer to support you with mobility in your home can be highly beneficial to the quality of daily life. It’s essential to nurture and encourage as much independence as possible with the right level of care and support.
We know regular exercise is important to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility. That’s why our Carers work closely with other healthcare professionals to assist you safely with completing exercises that support improved mobility.
If you use walking assistance devices, we can support with those too. Our Carers are highly trained in handling walking aids for seniors to ensure safe movement. They’ll support with using stairs, transferring to and from a wheelchair, assistance with Personal Care, and much more.

What does our Mobility Care service include?
Receiving compassionate care in the familiarity, safety and comfort of home can positively impact both physical and mental wellbeing. This can be especially true when compared with receiving Mobility Care in a care home. In fact, older people living in care homes are three times more likely to fall than older people who live in their own homes.2
Remaining at home provides structure and allows you to stay in control of usual routines. Our mobility assistance doesn’t just support you physically but can also provide mental wellbeing benefits. Being encouraged to maintain an active lifestyle – whether that’s moving to the kitchen to prepare a meal or taking a stroll to the local shops – mobility help at home can improve overall wellbeing.
Our Care Workers are experienced in providing quality dedicated care. Where required, we can assist with the correct usage of equipment that will keep you safe. Our Home Carers are professionally trained in using mobility aids, such as hoists and stairlifts. Therefore, with our support, living at home with mobility issues is possible and offers a great alternative to other types of care.
We’ll tailor your care plan to ensure we provide the necessary levels of support for you. We offer regular, short visits or continuous 24 Hour Care at Home. Our fully managed service is holistic so you and your loved ones can always depend on us.

How does Alina Homecare compare to an introductory agency?
Introductory agencies don’t have to be regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and quality cannot be guaranteed. At Alina Homecare, we provide fully regulated services that are inspected by the CQC. Additionally, we have our own internal Quality Team to uphold our high quality standards.
All our Home Carers undertake mandatory induction training, whereas agency carers may not complete any training. In addition to this, our services are managed locally; this means you can count on us when your Care Worker has time off as our local Team will step in to ensure continuity of care.
What training do your Carers receive?
We have our very own Alina Homecare Academy. Our company is built on core values that we passionately believe in and are at the heart of everything we do. We ensure all our Care Workers receive a high level of training so that our standards and quality reputation can be upheld.
Our expert Trainers all hold teaching qualifications and have a vast wealth of experience working in Health & Social Care. We offer several specialist qualifications for our Teams to equip them with greater knowledge to make life easier and safer for the people we support. We’re proud of our Alina Homecare Academy so we know our Teams are always delivering high quality care.

How is care monitored?
Like all our services, our Mobility Care is regulated by the CQC. The CQC is an independent regulator that inspects our services to ensure our quality standards are maintained. This includes checking that our care is client focused and that we always keep you safe and secure.
In addition to this, we are proud to partner with Birdie. Birdie’s innovative care technology enables us to digitally log and monitor all the support we provide. The Birdie Family App, with your consent, also enables shared visibility of care at any time for you and your loved ones.
