Understanding And Preparing For Home Care

Talking about care can be intimidating for both the family and the care receiver. However, it is important to talk about it to understand each perspective and analyse your needs. Usually an event such as the need for help after a fall, bereavement, illness or increasing signs of frailty is the trigger for the conversation. As you are in a hurry to find someone to care for your loved one and you are making decisions based on extremely strong emotions, the issue may become even more difficult. We believe that home care can also help prevent accidents and loneliness, allowing a person to stay at home for as long as possible. By starting with just a few hours a month, you can get the extra help you need and not have to put your loved one in a care home. Through ongoing care, we monitor your loved one’s health and well-being, giving you peace of mind that any changes in their behaviour, mobility or appetite will be detected.
