What Are Mental Health Needs?

Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Mental health issues can make daily tasks harder, strain relationships, and affect physical health and a person's ability to carry out everyday activities.

More than 1 in 7 adults in the UK report that their mental health is currently bad or at its lowest point ever. Young individuals aged 16-24 are the most affected, with 23.5% rating their mental health as poor or the worst it has ever been.

Some of the most common mental health conditions in the UK include:

  • Anxiety disorders
  • Depression
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Schizophrenia

Each person's experience of these conditions is unique, shaped by a mix of genetic, environmental, and social factors. Some people need occasional counselling sessions or emotional support. Others live with more severe mental illness that requires ongoing support from community psychiatric nurses or a wider mental health team.

Home mental health care is designed to improve your mental health and help you return to your usual routine. Counselling can also be done from home via phone or video call, either d through the NHS or privately.

If you feel that you need mental health care at home, you should contact your GP.

A day in the life with Maria

"I love seeing the difference the right support can make in someone's daily life. Helping a person feel more settled in their own home is one of the most rewarding parts of this job. We chat, we laugh, and I help them keep on top of their daily routines and look after themselves. I might help with cooking, getting to appointments, or simply keeping them company when things feel hard. I always keep an eye on how they are doing and pass anything important on to the wider support team. Every day looks a little different, but I am just here for whatever they need, however small."

The Benefits of Home Care for People with Mental Health Needs

Being in a familiar place makes a real difference. Receiving care in your own home can reduce stress and anxiety, which are often made worse in unfamiliar or institutional settings. A calm, supportive home environment helps you feel more at ease and more in control.

Stay Independent at Home

Our mental health home care in London enables you or your loved one to live independently while receiving the right support. Our carers help clients perform daily tasks, help with medication management, and provide emotional support and companionship. Maintaining social connections can prevent isolation and support emotional well-being, which is why companionship is a central part of our home care services.

A Care Plan Built Around You

As a trusted home care provider in London, we offer highly personalised care through a care package built specifically for you. Our support team pays attention to the finer details, from your preferred daily routines and personal care needs to mobility issues and appointment schedules. Each care plan is regularly reviewed, so your support always fits where you are on your care journey.

Support That Works Alongside Your Team

Our carers work alongside healthcare professionals, community mental health teams, social care professionals, and other services to provide joined-up, comprehensive care. Receiving support and care at home enables family members to play a more active role in care, while also benefiting from guidance, education, and support themselves. Our home care can also help your loved one to regain their independence and build confidence.

Live-In Care for Greater Needs

For people with more severe mental health needs, live-in care is a compassionate, person-centred alternative to residential care or a care home. Live-in care offers round-the-clock support, with a carer available day and night.

More reasons to choose Tiggo Care

Our Care packages are bespoke

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.

We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.

We're fully regulated

Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.

We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice

Our carers are fully vetted & trained

At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is home care a good idea for people with mental health needs?

Home care for people with mental health needs is worth considering when daily tasks become difficult or when isolation starts to affect their emotional well-being. It provides ongoing support and stability in a familiar home environment, which can ease stress and improve quality of life. Home care can help people stay out of the hospital or support a smooth transition home after a hospital stay.

What can a care assistant do for someone with mental health needs?

Our carers can help with a wide range of everyday activities, from medication management and getting to appointments to emotional support and companionship. They are trained to recognise and respond to a wide range of mental health challenges and work closely with your mental health nurses and other healthcare professionals. Care at home for people with mental health needs is built around the person, so the level of support will always reflect your personal needs.

Is short-term mental health care available?

Yes, short-term mental health home care is available for people who need support after a period in hospital or during a particularly difficult time. Mental health care at home can be a temporary measure for people struggling with daily life due to symptoms of mental illness, as well as a longer-term option where ongoing support is needed. Our flexible home care services adapt to wherever you are on your care journey.

Who supports people receiving mental health care at home?

People with mental health conditions are often supported at home by support workers, community psychiatric nurses, and care professionals. Our carers are trained to recognise and respond to a wide range of mental health challenges. Active listening, giving full attention without interrupting, is a core part of how they provide emotional support.

Can live-in care support someone with a severe mental illness?

Live-in care can provide support for people with severe mental illness, helping them manage their condition at home without the need for admission to a psychiatric hospital. Round-the-clock support from a live-in carer can be a compassionate, person-centred alternative to residential care or a care home. Receiving care in a familiar setting can have a positive impact on overall and emotional well-being in people with severe mental illness.

How do I arrange mental health care at home in London?

To arrange mental health care, start by speaking to your GP, who can refer you to the right mental health services or community mental health teams. You can also contact Tiggo Care directly, and our support team will discuss the next step with you. Our process begins with an assessment to understand your mental health needs and any associated risks, so we can put together the most suitable care package for you.

How is a mental health care plan put together?

Our tailored care plans for mental health support are developed in line with your specific mental health care needs. Your plan covers the finer details of your daily routines, personal needs, and any guidance from your GP, mental health team, or occupational therapist. It is regularly reviewed and updated as your needs change. Receiving care at home means your family can be closely involved in developing your care plan.

What does mental health home care include?

Home mental health care can include a wide range of services, such as medication management, emotional support, companionship, and assistance with daily tasks. Health care at home can also incorporate input from community mental health teams, social care professionals, and other services.

What is the role of community mental health teams alongside home care?

Community mental health teams (CMHTs) can support people in their own homes for as long as deemed necessary by medical professionals. A CMHT will help you with your health, social, and daily support needs to help you regain routine and independence. At Tiggo Care, our carers work in partnership with community mental health teams, community psychiatric nurses, and other services to make sure your support is consistent and joined up.

What everyday measures can support people with mental health conditions?

Creating a consistent routine can help reduce anxiety. Regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep are all linked to better mental health outcomes. Maintaining social connections, practising mindfulness, and nature therapy, such as tending to houseplants, can all help reduce stress and support emotional well-being. Online resources such as NHS Every Mind Matters and digital therapies like CBT apps can also help identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, alongside your professional care plan.
