Caring with Dignity

Patricia, tell us about the work of Kingdom healthcare in Northern Ireland.

Kingdom Healthcare is a specialist homecare health agency that operates in every county in Northern Ireland, providing care services for clients across the country. We are a registered company with the RQIA and have over 300 dedicated and experienced staff who receive an exceptionally high standard of ongoing training. Our handpicked staff have experience in caring for clients in any situation, including those with dementia, physical disabilities and complex needs who may require roundthe-clock care.

What type of services does Kingdom Healthcare offer?

We provide a range of care, dependent on our clients’ needs. We work with every health trust in Northern Ireland to deliver packages for people in their homes, enabling them to stay at home, whilst being looked after by our dedicated carers.

We also offer bespoke services for clients with complex needs, and we tailor our ‘Hospital at Home’ service towards those who require an all-around care service within their home setting.

Our aim is always to enable our clients to retain their dignity and quality of life while they live at home whilst receiving the care that they need. Our care at home services is also vital as it helps to alleviate loneliness and isolation, which can negatively impact the mental health of those who require care at home.

With the healthcare system under immense pressure and our more at risk in society keen to remain at home, how can Kingdom Healthcare help?

If a loved one is at home but additional assistance that is not available through Health Trust packages, we offer private home care, where we tailor a package to meet their needs.

For some families who live further away from their loved ones, we offer support and reassurance with daily calls, companionship, shopping and help with household chores. For some others who need a little more assistance, we make their meals, check on medication, help with bedtime and personal care etc.

Regardless of our service, our team at Kingdom Healthcare are fully trained to deal with any situation at short notice and we have 24-hour support available for our carers, our clients and our families.

What sets Kingdom Healthcare apart? We strive for excellence, we care with dignity, we uphold our values and deliver ongoing training to our team, as our staff are the heart of our business. Our company is passionate about helping all service users maintain or return to a life that resembles normality as closely as possible. We are a company that cares.

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants are specially designed screws which are placed into the jaw and act like natural tooth roots. Replacement teeth can then be attached, even dentures can be made to feel more comfortable and secure. With routine care dental implants have a high level of success with studies now recording a greater than 95% success rate (over a ten year period) as long as there are no other associated risk factors.

Dental implants can be used as follows:- i) To replace a single missing tooth. ii) To replace multiple missing teeth. iii) No teeth. iv) To stabilise dentures.

Benefits of Dental Implants

- Maintains the integrity of facial structures by preserving the bone.

- No need to grind down healthy teeth for a bridge.

- Stable replacement teeth for eating and smiling with confidence.

- Closest replacement possible to natural teeth.
