Why Choose Elderly Care at Home?

As we get older, everyday tasks such as cooking, cleaning, bathing, or getting in and out of bed can become more difficult. Many people also need additional help due to health conditions, reduced mobility, or recovery after hospital treatment. Choosing home care for the elderly means you or your loved one can continue living in familiar surroundings while receiving the right level of support.

Unlike a care home, elderly care at home is flexible, personal, and designed around your lifestyle. Our carers help you keep your independence while providing comfort, companionship, and reassurance for both you and your family. Our friendly team are also on hand to provide free advice and guidance so you can make informed choices about your care.

What Are Elderly Home Care Services?

Elderly care (sometimes called eldercare or care of the elderly) refers to professional support that helps older people live safely and happily at home.

We create tailored care packages for the elderly, which may include help with daily living, medical support, or companionship. Every care plan is unique to your needs, ensuring the right level of support without unnecessary costs. Our team is happy to provide free guidance on which services may best suit your situation.

    Elderly Home Care vs Care Homes

    Many families face the decision between moving into a care home or arranging elderly home care. Staying at home means:
    • Remaining in familiar surroundings with your belongings and pets
    • Keeping your routines and independence
    • Seeing friends and family without restrictions
    • Personalised care packages designed for your needs

    Our carers provide everything from a few hours of help per week to full-time care, allowing you to avoid the stress and costs of moving into a care home. We also offer free advice and support to help you decide what level of care is best.

    Who Benefits from
    Elderly Care Services

    Elderly care at home is designed for a wide range of people and situations, offering personalised support where it’s needed most:

    • Recovery & Rehabilitation: Older people recently discharged from the hospital, recovering from surgery, or regaining strength after an illness or accident.

    • Remaining at Home: Individuals who wish to stay in their own home and feel mentally and physically better in familiar surroundings.

    • Ongoing Medical Needs: Those with medical conditions or long-term health challenges that require qualified assistance.

    • Mobility Support: People with restricted mobility who may struggle with daily tasks or need around-the-clock physical support.

    • Medication & Treatment: Individuals managing ongoing medication or rehabilitation who benefit from regular assistance.

    • Family Support & Respite: Helping loved ones, friends, or carers to achieve a better quality of life and offering families a much-needed break from their routines.

    Disadvantages of Elderly Care at Home

    While elderly home care has many advantages, it’s important to acknowledge potential challenges:

    • Adjusting to new carers: It can take time to build trust with someone new. We carefully match carers to your needs and personality to make this transition easier.

    • Home adaptations: Some homes may need small changes (such as mobility aids or safety equipment). Our team will advise and help arrange these adjustments.

    • Specialist needs: Certain medical conditions may require extra training for carers. We invest in ongoing training to ensure our staff can provide safe and effective support.

    By being transparent about these points, we help families make informed decisions and provide reassurance that The Great Care Company has solutions for each challenge.

    What Are The Costs of Home Care for the Elderly?

    Let us reassure you that costs should never come before care.

    Every person’s situation is unique. That’s why we design care packages for elderly people that are tailored to your needs and budget.
