Mental Health Care
Being diagnosed with a mental illness can be life changing, but doesn’t necessarily mean loss of independence. We understand mental illness can affect people in different ways, each bringing their own unique challenges, but with a fully trained and dedicated carer Harmony Healthcare make it possible for you or your loved one to live as independently as possible.
We take the emotional well-being and dignity of the people we care for extremely seriously. By supporting people to live in their own home, we often see a positive impact on self-confidence.
Adults living with mental health issues are all too often a forgotten part of our society. Without the right help, these individuals can live a lonely life surrounded by a stigma that is perpetuated by a deep misunderstanding of the challenges faced by those who suffer from poor mental health.
Mental health problems can be triggered by events, lifestyles and even genetics. Sometimes it becomes abundantly clear that the person you love is suffering. But in other cases, poor mental health can sneak up on an individual over a number of months or years.
Perhaps someone you know is battling chronic anxiety or depression? Or perhaps a loved one needs mental health support at home to help with a bipolar disorder? If so, we can offer mental health carers or carers on either a respite or longer term basis for anyone living with mental health struggles, including:
- Schizophrenia
- ADHD
- OCD
- Particular phobias
Regardless of the diagnosis your loved one has been given, the varying symptoms and effects of mental health issues can make it extremely difficult to live a normal life without specialist support and unwavering compassion – two things which can be provided by our experienced live-in care services and mental health carers. Your carers should be professionally trained to deliver high-quality mental health support at home, ensuring that those they care for can continue living independently in the familiarity of their own surroundings.

Unique carer matching
We always take the time to get to know you as an individual before assigning a private carer. We don’t just look at a carer’s experience and knowledge, we carefully hand-pick your carer to ensure there are mutual interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes alongside a similar sense of humour.
