Why choose home care?
People choose home care services for a number of reasons, to secure the support they need to feel confident and independent to continue living in their own home.
Home care offers different solutions to meet different care and support needs, such as:
- Short-term help to get back on your feet, following illness or injury.
- Support with daily household chores, like laundry and grocery shopping.
- The reassurance of regular visits ensures that help is at hand.
- The confidence to get out and about in your local community, attend appointments and visit your favourite places.
- Qualified support to help you safely manage your medication.
- Help with personal care tasks such as washing and dressing.
- Support to continue doing the things you love, like meeting friends and retaining treasured hobbies.
This list is not exhaustive, as home care services are tailored specifically to you and your individual needs and goals.
When contacting a potential home care provider, have in mind a list of questions that you would like to ask them, about how they can support you to live the life you choose at home. Tell them how you are hoping to benefit from their home care services, and what the right package of home care will help you achieve.
Whatever your reason for choosing home care, make sure that it is the right fit for you.
