Mental health care at home

Personalised, respectful mental health support in the comfort and safety of your own home, helping you or your loved one feel empowered, connected, and supported every step of the way

Mental Health Challenges Don’t Disappear because you are at home.

Living with a mental health condition like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia at home can feel overwhelming, especially when daily tasks, routines, or relationships become harder to manage. It can be lonely, exhausting, and for many, it feels like you’re holding everything together with very little support.

That’s why having the choice to receive care at home matters so much. We offer compassionate, person-centred support in the place you feel most safe and settled — your home.

What We Do


What is Mental Health?

We believe it goes far beyond a checklist of tasks. We are here to care and listen, empower, and involve you at every stage—giving you and your loved ones reassurance, control, and relief from unwanted feelings such as guilt and burden 
Personal care should always be personal. 

What We Do


What is Mental illness?

Mental illness is different. It’s when changes in how someone feels, thinks, or behaves become more serious and start to impact their life in a lasting way. Mental illness can affect anyone, no matter their background, age, or circumstances—and it’s not a personal failing or weakness.

Conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or eating disorders are just a few examples of mental illness. These illnesses can affect relationships, confidence, sleep, concentration, appetite, and the ability to work or study.

At Link Direct Care, we don’t just look at your condition; we look at people – real people. Whether you’re managing a mental health condition or supporting someone who is, you don’t have to face it alone. With the right support at home, many people can feel more stable, safe, and in control of their wellbeing.

Mental Health Support at Home

The right support is key 

When you’re living with a mental health challenge, the idea of getting help can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s why more and more people are choosing mental health care at home—a gentle, personal approach that brings support to where you feel safest.

Domiciliary care, also known as home care, means receiving mental health support right in your own space. It might include help with daily routines, emotional support, encouragement to manage symptoms, or simply someone to talk to who understands.

Our trained, compassionate carers can assist you with:

  • Bathing and Showering: Helping you feel refreshed, clean, and confident 
  • Toileting and Continence Care: Discreet support with toilet use, catheter care, and incontinence management    
  • Dressing and Undressing: Gentle assistance with choosing and changing clothing    
  • Mobility: Help with getting in and out of bed, transferring safely, and walking    
  • Meal Preparation and Feeding: Support with cooking meals, eating, and maintaining special diets    
  • Medication Management: Prompting and assisting with medication administration     
  • Household Tasks: Light help with laundry, bed changing, and basic cleaning tasks      

These are just a few examples—your personal care plan will always be tailored to your unique needs, preferences, and daily routines.
