GP Support for Families & Care Home Residents
Compassionate, Proactive Medical Care for Your Loved Ones
Why Families Trust Harrogate Private GP
When a loved one is unwell, it can be difficult to know if they’re receiving the right medical attention—especially if they are in a care home or unable to visit their GP.
At Harrogate Private GP, we provide dedicated, ongoing medical care for frail patients, those with chronic conditions, and care home residents. Our proactive approach ensures regular GP reviews, clear communication with families, and expert oversight—helping to prevent deterioration and offering peace of mind.
How We Can Help
🔹 Regular GP Reviews – Ongoing medical oversight to keep patients as well as possible, not just when problems arise.
🔹 Home & Care Home Visits – In-person consultations in familiar surroundings, removing the need for stressful travel.
🔹 Liaison with Families – Clear updates and follow-up calls after consultations to keep relatives informed.
🔹 Chronic Disease Management – Expert care for conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, COPD, and dementia.
🔹 Frailty & Falls Risk Assessments – Identifying risks early to help prevent hospital admissions.
🔹 Medication Reviews – Ensuring medications remain effective, appropriate, and up to date.
🔹 NHS & Private Referrals – Helping to arrange NHS referrals where appropriate, with the option of private referrals for faster access to specialists.
🔹 Holistic & Preventative Care – Supporting nutrition, mobility, wellbeing, and long-term health planning beyond just medical conditions.
Why Regular GP Care Matters
Many care home residents and frail patients only receive medical attention when a problem arises. However, regular GP input can:
Reduce the risk of avoidable hospital admissions
Ensure early detection of health concerns
Optimise medications and long-term treatment plans
Provide reassurance for families and carers
Support end-of-life and frailty care in a structured way
At Harrogate Private GP, we take a whole-person approach, working closely with families and care home staff to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Follow-Up Calls for Families
We understand how difficult it can be when a relative is receiving care and you’re unsure what’s happening. That’s why we provide a follow-up call after GP visits to:
📞 Update family members on their loved one’s condition
📞 Explain the treatment plan and next steps
📞 Answer any questions and offer reassurance
This reduces uncertainty and worry, ensuring families feel supported and involved in their loved one’s care.
