Bariatric conditions refer to health conditions in which an individual's weight significantly exceeds recommended levels, impacting their daily life.
Obesity is a significant public health problem in the UK. In 2022-23, an estimated 64.0% of adults aged 18 and above in England were overweight or living with obesity. More specifically, 69% of men and 59% of women in the UK are either overweight or obese. Obesity has doubled in the UK since 1993 and is predicted to keep increasing. Those who are overweight or obese are at increased risk of several health conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, heart problems, and some cancers.
The term 'bariatric' relates to the medical treatment of obesity and the strategies used to help people lose weight and improve their overall wellbeing. Obesity is a complex health issue that can result from factors such as behaviour, genetics, inactivity, dietary patterns, and medications. A person's body mass index (BMI) is one of the key measures used by doctors to assess weight-related health risk. When someone's weight affects their ability to manage everyday tasks, professional bariatric care services can make a real difference.
Bariatric home care gives your loved one the specialist support and person-centred care they need to live comfortably at home. At Tiggo Care, we take every aspect of a person's care seriously, ensuring each person's holistic needs, from physical and emotional wellbeing to social connection, are met.
All our carers receive comprehensive training in dignity and respect in care delivery, safe transfer techniques, and obesity-related health conditions. We support clients with kindness and without judgment, and we adapt our approach as your loved one's needs change over time.
Our carers are trained to provide sensitive personal care with warmth and respect. We understand that this sensitive personal care can feel difficult when someone is living with the physical and emotional effects of obesity. Our team assists with:
We help your loved one follow the dietary guidance set by their GP or dietician. Our carers can assist with:
We cannot provide dietary or nutritional advice, but our carers can help your loved one adhere to the guidance they have already received from their healthcare team.
For those recovering from weight-loss surgery, our post-surgery support is carefully structured to aid a safe recovery. In the first few days following surgery, having professional support in place is especially important. Our carers can:
Where bariatric nursing care is required, we liaise with registered nurses and NHS district nurses to ensure your loved one receives the appropriate nursing care they need.
Living with obesity can take a real toll on a person's mental health. Compassionate bariatric care goes beyond the physical. Our carers provide emotional support and companionship to help combat low self-esteem and feelings of isolation. Emotional encouragement and physical support, including motivating your loved one to follow prescribed exercises, are central to how we care. With the right support, your loved one can take steps towards a more fulfilled life.

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.
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
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.

A bariatric patient is a person with significant weight-related health conditions that impact their day-to-day life and overall wellbeing. They may have restricted mobility, difficulty with personal care, and require ongoing care and support to live safely at home. Our compassionate bariatric care is designed to help bariatric patients across all age groups live more comfortably and with greater independence.
Bariatric care refers to the care, support, and assistance given to people living with obesity, focused on improving their health outcomes and daily functioning. It includes help with personal care, meal preparation, mobility, and emotional support, as well as medication management where needed. At Tiggo Care, we offer a fully managed service that is tailored to each person's needs and delivered with the utmost dignity.
A bariatric care plan is a personalised document that outlines the specific care and support a person needs to live safely and comfortably at home. At Tiggo Care, we carry out a comprehensive assessment before creating a bariatric care plan that covers personal care, mobility, meal preparation, medication management, and emotional support. A well-structured bariatric care plan can help reduce the risk of further complications and help your loved one lead a fulfilled and healthy life.
Helping a bariatric patient at home involves providing sensitive personal care that respects their privacy and dignity at all times. This includes assisting with mobility, skin care, meal planning, and ensuring they have the emotional support they need to feel confident and secure. A dedicated care team and a clear support plan are essential to delivering consistent, reliable bariatric care.
Bariatric care needs vary from person to person but often include support with mobility, personal care, medication management, and day-to-day tasks. Many people also need extra support to maintain a healthy diet and follow the advice of their GP or healthcare team. Our bespoke care plan process ensures we understand your loved one's specific needs before a care package begins.
To arrange bariatric care with Tiggo Care, simply get in touch with our care team by phone or through our online form. We will organise a free, no-obligation home visit to carry out a comprehensive assessment of your loved one's needs and preferences. From there, we will create a bespoke care plan and match your loved one with a suitable, experienced care assistant.
Contact our care team using the form below or by calling our office and we'll organise a free consultation to advise you on your specific care needs.
