What Are Elderly Home Care Services?

Elderly care at home (often known as “eldercare”) is any service that requires carers to assist with issues that a senior citizen may face when living in their own home.

The term itself is very broad and eldercare can actually involve many aspects that are unique to senior people. Services such as daycare, night care, general assistance around the home or treatment for specialised needs (such as dementia or physical disabilities) will vary from person to person so we create home care packages for older clients that suit their needs exactly.

It may require a short-term solution with help on a few days a week whilst you get healthy (after surgery or stay in the hospital) or it could be long-term, around-the-clock care that is required.

Our team assess your needs and provide carers to suit. This saves time, and money and avoids the other options like going into a care home.

Elderly Care At Home Vs Care Homes

Getting older can come with some very difficult decisions. We’re here to make those decisions easier and maintain your quality of life and independence.

If you or your loved ones already know that some assistance is required then you may consider the possibility of going into a care home. This is always a big upheaval and may not be the best option for you.

You should be where you feel most comfortable, surrounded by the people and things that you love; your own home. The Great Care Company makes that possible.

Our staff will provide a familiar face and will allow you all the benefits of living in your own home: Freedom to live your life, see people, keep your pets, and keep the things you own and have collected throughout life. Your own home should make you feel happy.

You may need help for a few hours a week with basics like cleaning, shopping, cooking and assistance with treatments. Or you require around-the-clock care. Our services are set up to provide the exact care that suits you without additional fees for things you don’t want help with. As long as you need carers in your home, our team are here for you. 

Who Is Elderly Home Care Best Suited To?

Elderly Care At Home Is Perfect For . . .
  • Senior people recently released from hospital, recovering from surgery or getting well after an accident.

  • People who do not wish to leave their homes and will feel mentally and physically better in familiar surroundings.

  • Those who have ongoing medical requirements which may require qualified assistance.

  • People with restricted mobility who might struggle with daily tasks or those who require around-the-clock physical aids.

  • Ongoing medication or rehabilitation.

  • Helping your loved ones, friends or carers to get a better quality of life and in some cases, a bit of a break from their routines.

  • Providing comfort, be it physical or simply through help and positive reassurance. This could be everything from helping you get out and about or simply sitting down and having a cup of tea and a chat.

  • Providing the support that you know you need but simply cannot find elsewhere.

  • Doing what it takes to promote your wellness and happiness.

Our home carers will take care of any aspect you need help with. We all have hard decisions to make at certain points in our lives, let The Great Care Company take the stress out of that and provide you with all the information you need to make the right decision for care that will suit you.
