Care at home in Stourport-on-Severn
Support for your routines and the life you enjoy
Staying at home in Stourport-on-Severn can mean keeping familiar routines, neighbours and the small choices that make each day your own. If getting ready, preparing meals or managing household tasks has become harder, we can discuss the help you would welcome and plan visits around you.
Our visiting Home Care service can help with washing and dressing, prescribed medicines, meals, companionship and household tasks. Visits can start from 30 minutes a week or provide support at several points in the day. We discuss what you need and how visits could work during a free home assessment.
If you need support at different times throughout the day, you can also explore Live-in Care in Worcestershire, where a practitioner lives in your home. Our team can talk through both options, including the space, breaks and night-time arrangements a live-in plan would require.

Who we can support
Help with everyday tasks and changing needs
We support adults who need help at home, including people living with disabilities or long-term conditions and those recovering after illness or hospital treatment. Care can also sit alongside the help a partner, relative or friend already provides.
When help at home may be useful
You might be exploring support for:
- Washing, dressing or other personal routines
- Living with reduced mobility, frailty or a disability
- Daily life with dementia or another long-term condition
- Returning home after illness, surgery or a hospital stay
- Regular company and help with meals or household tasks
- A family caring arrangement that needs additional support
We listen to what you want to keep doing for yourself and where help would make a difference.
Changes worth talking through
A conversation may help when:
- Getting ready takes more effort or leaves you tired
- Meals, drinks or prescribed medicines are being missed
- Moving around at home has become less secure
- Shopping, laundry or cleaning is harder to manage
- Time alone is becoming difficult or you would welcome company
- A family carer’s health, work or other commitments have changed
During the assessment, we discuss the help already available and where further support would be useful.
Help with daily life at home
Personal and practical support agreed with you
Your care plan brings together the tasks you need help with and the way you prefer things to be done. These examples show what visiting support can include.
Personal care and daily routines
Discreet help can make getting ready more comfortable while respecting your privacy and choices.
- Washing, bathing, showering and dressing
- Grooming, oral care and personal hygiene
- Toileting and assessed continence support
- Morning, evening and bedtime routines
Practitioners follow your preferred routine and encourage you to do what you can comfortably manage.
Prescribed medication support
Trained and competency-assessed practitioners can prompt, assist with or administer prescribed medicines as agreed in your plan.
- Support with assessed medication routines
- Prescribed tablets, liquids, creams, patches, drops or inhalers
- When-required medicines under the agreed protocol
- Recording support and reporting concerns
Prescribing, dose changes and clinical decisions remain with the appropriate healthcare professional. Practitioners do not fill medication organisers.
Meals and drinks
We can help you prepare the meals you enjoy and keep food and drinks part of your daily routine.
- Preparing meals, snacks and drinks
- Following dietary, texture and allergy guidance in your plan
- Encouraging regular eating and drinking
- Shopping for groceries and household essentials
We follow agreed professional guidance and report changes in appetite or intake through your contact arrangements.
Practical help around the home
Support with household tasks can help keep your home comfortable and everyday items within reach.
- Light cleaning, tidying and washing up
- Laundry, bed-making and changing linen
- Shopping, errands and collecting prescriptions
- Basic pet care where agreed
We agree these tasks with you and record how you would like them carried out in your care plan.
Companionship
A regular visit can bring conversation, shared interests and something enjoyable to look forward to.
- Friendly company and conversation
- Hobbies, crafts, music or games
- Keeping in touch with friends and family
- Agreed support with activities outside the home
Matching considers personality, interests and communication preferences alongside the care you need.
Mobility and appointments
Assessed support can help you move around and keep appointments or activities that matter to you.
- Help moving between a bed, chair or other position
- Using assessed moving or hoisting equipment
- Accompaniment to health appointments
- Shopping and short outings where agreed
Equipment and exercise guidance must be assessed or recommended by the appropriate professional before practitioners assist.
Planning visits around your day
Help at home, in town and in nearby villages
You may need support before an appointment, help with lunch or a visit as you settle into the evening. We discuss the times that matter to you and how care can fit alongside family, friends and any other support already in place.
Whether you live in Areley Kings, Lickhill, elsewhere in Stourport-on-Severn or a nearby village, we consider access to your home and the journeys between visits. If you have appointments at Stourport Medical Centre or in Kidderminster, tell us about the help you may need getting ready or being accompanied.
We use your preferred visit times wherever possible and explain any agreed time windows. Care can be arranged on weekdays, evenings, weekends and bank holidays, following assessment and suitable practitioner availability.
Care alongside local health and support services
Keeping your support connected
If a GP, hospital team, community nurse or the council is involved in your care, we can include relevant contacts and instructions in your care plan. We agree with you what information should be shared and how the people involved will keep in touch.
Appointments and returning home
If you attend Stourport Medical Centre or another surgery, we can discuss help getting ready for appointments or accompaniment where agreed in your care plan.
If you attend Kidderminster Hospital and Treatment Centre for appointments or treatment, we can discuss the practical help you may need. If you are preparing to return home after a hospital stay, tell us your expected return date and the support discussed with the discharge team.
We can assess personal and practical help at home alongside those arrangements. The healthcare professionals involved remain responsible for discharge decisions, prescribing and clinical follow-up.
Our guide to coming home from hospital includes practical questions about care, equipment and support after discharge.
Care needs and help with costs
Worcestershire County Council explains how to ask for a care needs assessment, including its online self-assessment and telephone appointment routes. If you may qualify for council-funded support, a separate financial assessment considers what you would need to contribute.
Our free home assessment looks at the care CM Bespoke Care could arrange. It is separate from the council’s assessments, and you can contact us privately while also exploring council support.
If the council agrees a direct payment, check the agreed support, available budget and any personal contribution or extra costs before arranging care.
Benefits and support for family carers
Attendance Allowance may help with extra costs if you have reached State Pension age and need personal-care help or supervision because of a disability or health condition. It is not means-tested, and paying for care is not a requirement. Eligibility depends on your needs and the other rules.
Check Attendance Allowance eligibility on GOV.UK. Our care costs and funding guide explains the wider options.
If you already help a relative or friend, our guide for family carers looks at practical support and looking after your own wellbeing.
Other ways we can support you at home

Home Care Services from CM Bespoke Care
A family-owned team that listens
CM Bespoke Care is family-owned and managed. We take time to understand the person receiving care, including their routines, preferences and the help they would welcome. Dignity, reliability and personal relationships guide how we plan and provide support.
Our team coordinates care from our Church Stretton and Cleobury Mortimer offices. We agree how support will be provided, how you and your family can keep in touch with us, and how changes to your care will be discussed. As your needs change, we review the care plan with you so it continues to reflect the support you need at home.
Familiar faces and clear communication
We aim to provide a small, familiar team, matched to your needs, routines and preferences. Matching also considers the skills required, visit times and practical travel arrangements.
- Induction and shadowing before independent work
- Ongoing training, observations and competency checks
- A dedicated care manager and regular care-plan reviews
- Secure digital care plans and visit records
- Family updates agreed according to your wishes and consent

Arranging care in Stourport-on-Severn
From a first conversation to an agreed plan
Tell us what has changed and the help you are considering. We can answer your questions and explain how a free home assessment would work.
Talk with our team
We discuss your general location, the support needed, preferred times and any important timescale. You can enquire for yourself or someone close to you.
Meet for a free assessment
A trained senior team member normally visits you at home. We discuss your routines, wishes, needs and home environment, with relatives involved if you want them to take part.
Agree the care and cost
We explain the proposed tasks, visits and charges, then match practitioners to the support required. For live-in care, we also assess household space, breaks and night-time needs.
Begin care with ongoing review
Practitioners receive a handover and your agreed care plan. A dedicated care manager keeps in touch, with formal reviews at least monthly and when needs change.
Choosing how and where to receive care
Consider your needs, preferences and home circumstances
Visiting care, live-in care and residential or nursing care involve different arrangements. The right choice depends on the help you need and the support each provider can safely offer.
Our guide to live-in care and care homes explains practical points to compare when deciding.
Remaining in your own home
Care at home may suit you when your needs can be met safely in your current surroundings.
- Keep familiar rooms, routines and relationships
- Receive agreed visits at particular points in the day
- Explore live-in support when scheduled visits are insufficient
- Plan help alongside relatives and other professionals
Live-in care requires suitable household space, breaks and overnight rest. Continuous support may need a separate rota or shift arrangement.
Moving to a residential or nursing home
A care home combines accommodation and support in a communal setting; a nursing home also provides registered nursing care.
- Consider the accommodation and facilities offered
- Discuss the level of personal or nursing support needed
- Understand daily routines and visiting arrangements
- Compare the complete care offer and costs
Suitability should be explored with you and the relevant professionals, taking account of your wishes.
