Stay comfortable & independent with palliative home care
Autism and learning disability home care, built around the individual
What is palliative
care home care?
Autism and learning disability home care is specialist, person-centred support delivered in the comfort and familiarity of your own home. It’s designed for individuals who may need help with daily tasks, communication, emotional regulation or navigating social situations, while still promoting as much independence and choice as possible.
At Visiting Angels, we understand that no two people with autism or a learning disability are the same. That’s why our home care services are built around your routines, sensory preferences, communication style and goals.Â

Why is
nail care importantfor older adults?
Our nails aren’t always top of the priority list when it comes to looking after our health. However, left unattended, neglected nails can be painful and even limit our mobility. As we get older, our skin thins and circulation slows; signs like discoloration, thickening nails or dryness can be signs of deeper issues.
Putting a routine in place serves as a form of light health monitoring, helping to spot health concerns early, make things more comfortable and leave you feeling refreshed and confident.
Feel confident and cared for with nail care from Visiting Angels
At Visiting Angels, our trained carer givers offer gentle, hygienic nail care that helps older adults stay comfortable, confident and safe. From careful trimming to light massage and moisturising, every visit is designed to support your or your loved one’s wellbeing.
And just like all our services, you choose who comes into your home. That means nail care never feels clinical or impersonal. Instead, it’s a familiar part of your regular routine, delivered by someone you know and trust.

How often should an older adult cut their nails?
Best practice is to trim fingernails and toenails every 4-6 weeks. Regular trimming helps prevent comfort, stops them from snagging and reduces the risk of more serious issues like ingrown nails or infections, especially for those with reduced circulation or diabetes.
