Drawing upon our extensive experience of assisting numerous individuals and their families, we understand that when confronted with the need for long-term care and support, most individuals prefer to remain in the safety, comfort, and familiarity of their beloved homes, avoiding the upheaval associated with relocation.

The prospect of moving away from home can be emotionally distressing, causing anxiety and confusion for many.

BENEFITS OF 24-HOUR HOME CARE VS. A CARE HOME

We know through our experience that faced with the prospect of needing long-term care and support, that most people would prefer to stay in their treasured home, and not endure the disruption caused from a move into a residential care or nursing home. There are many benefits to receiving hourly care at home as opposed to moving into a care home.

  • One-to-one care and support – whilst there are many good care homes, one-to-one care simply cannot be provided in any care home
  • Familiar surroundings provide comfort for those who are living with conditions like dementia or Parkinson’s or are recovering from a stroke or receiving nursing care at home
  • No rigid timetables directing your daily routines and how you live your life – at home you can live with choice and independence
  • Keep your treasured home in your family – if you move into a care home it is likely that you will have to sell the family home to fund your care home fees
  • Peace of mind for families – those close to you have the reassurance that you are getting all the care and support you need in the safety of your own home
  • Couples can stay together as a loving couple – if you move into a care home you will be separated from living with your spouse or partner. Even if you both need care and go into a care home together, it is highly unlikely you will be able to share the same room. If you have different care needs, you may not be able to be cared for in the same part of the home
  • Maintain what is important to you in life – staying at home enables you to continue to live with your cherished pet, having all your possessions and memories around you and keeping up with friends in your local community or hobbies you enjoy – all of which is very difficult to achieve in a care home
  • The cost of care at home is very cost effective when compared with the overall weekly fee of receiving care in a residential or nursing home
